We make more than N1m every month, Fake LASTMA official confesses

The suspect, who was arrested at the weekend by operatives of LASTMA in Ikoyi, Lagos, confessed to have been in the business for a long time, saying he and his men put on reflective jackets with LASTMA written on them.

“I and my men rake in an average of N35,000 monthly; extorting unsuspecting members of the public.

“Any motorist, particularly private car owner, I catch dropping someone at any undesignated bus stop pays between N15,000 and N20,000, while those caught for driving against traffic pay a minimum of N35,000 as fine.”
