The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has announced plans to initiate legal actions against skit-makers who misuse their uniform for comedic purposes. This decision comes amidst concerns regarding the portrayal of traffic officers in online content.
According to LASTMA’s spokesperson, the agency views the misuse of its uniform as a serious offense and intends to address it through legal means. The misuse of uniforms in skits and other forms of media has raised concerns about the potential impact on the public perception of traffic officials and their authority.
LASTMA emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of its uniform and ensuring that it is not misrepresented or used inappropriately. Skit-makers found guilty of abusing the LASTMA uniform could face prosecution and other legal consequences.
The agency’s decision underscores its commitment to upholding professionalism and respect for its uniform, as well as safeguarding its reputation and that of its officers.
