Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) personnel were seen demanding for forgiveness from residents of Lagos for maltreating them over the years.
The personnel were seen demanding for restitution in a video that surfaced on social media.
The apology is coming days prior to the rescheduled gubernatorial election where Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), will compete for the governorship of Lagos against Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party, Funso Doherty of the Africa Democratic Congress, Abdulazeez Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party, and 11 others.
