Lagos State Government Shouldn’t Be Auctioning Seized Cars – DJ Switch

Popular Nigerian deejay, DJ Switch has come out to blast the Lagos state government over the order it recently secured from a mobile court to auction 88 cars seized from traffic offenders in the state.

This is coming after the Chairman of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit, CSP Shola Jejeloye, announced that the unit had secured a Court Order from the state mobile court authorising it to publicly auction the vehicles from residents found guilty of contravening the One-Way Traffic Law.

Reacting, DJ Switch simply wrote that the move is wrong because the government could’ve easily fined the offenders or sent them to jail, instead of auctioning seized vehicles.

She added that the mobile court that gave the order in favour of the Lagos State Environmental Unit is really inept and corrupt.

Her words, ”I just read on the news that the Lagos State Environmental Unit through their inept and corrupt mobile court gave the order for peoples cars to be auctioned off, to be sold off. What happened to fines? Why can’t you fine these people? Give them something to pay? What happened to minimum jail term? A weekend in jail? Community service? What happened to those options? You want to sell off …You are a thief. Lagos state government is a thief. You are short of just carrying guns. It is gun that is remaining for you. You are a thief.”

”I am very certain that a lot of these people that their cars are there are crying out but nobody knows them. Where are our celebrities? Where are our influencers? You have so many followers.”
