MOT cleard LASTMA involvement in Gbagada accident

The Lagos State Ministry of Transportation (MOT) issues this press release to clarify misinformation circulating on social media regarding an incident in Gbagada where two LAWMA Street Sweepers lost their lives.

The Ministry expresses sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and LAWMA management, praying for the repose of the departed souls.
