Nine offenders have been arrested and arraigned by the Ogun State Police Command in Sango-Ota for traffic violations and obstruction of public highways under the ongoing “Operation No Traffic Gridlock.”
Operatives of the Sango-Ota Division carried out the arrests in compliance with a directive from Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni. The operatives were deployed to flashpoints known for persistent traffic congestion and road indiscipline. During the enforcement exercise, several vehicles and tricycles were intercepted for violating traffic regulations, while those found obstructing the free flow of traffic were impounded in line with the Command’s zero-tolerance policy.
Those arrested are Rufus Kunle, Sanni Ogbewi, Aremu Oluwatunmise, Kayode Ariyo, Wisdom Akpan, Yinka Molaolu, Olushola Adebowale, Ikechukwu Ogah, and Nwuda Chukwuka. The suspects have been formally charged to court. Monitoring and enforcement efforts are continuing to identify and apprehend other violators undermining public safety and order within the Sango-Ota corridor.
Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni commended the professionalism and commitment of the operatives and reiterated the Command’s zero tolerance for acts of road obstruction and traffic indiscipline. He warned that any individual, regardless of status, found deliberately causing traffic gridlock or disobeying lawful directives of traffic officers will be dealt with decisively in accordance with the law.
Members of the public were encouraged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities through the Ogun State Police Command emergency lines: Gateway Shield toll-free 0800 000 9111, and 0906 283 7609, 0912 014 1706, 0915 102 7369, 0708 497 2994.
