According to a statement by Ambode’s Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, the governor was returning from Abuja on Monday evening when he encountered some motorists driving against the traffic along the Muritala Mohammed Airport Road, Ikeja.

“The Governor, on sighting the vehicle, alighted from his car and reprimanded the officer for showing a bad example contrary to what the Nigeria Army is known for.
“Another offender, who drove a saloon car with registration number LSR 445 ER, also got some schooling from the Governor for breaking the law regardless of the dangers involved in driving against traffic.
“Governor Ambode immediately ordered for the vehicles to be impounded, while also directing that the offenders be prosecuted in line with the provisions of the Traffic Laws.”
