Police say the traffic along the Mile2/Berger Bus Stop inward Tin-can Island has defied every solution and they don’t know what to do again.
Divisional Police Officer, DPO, along Mile-2/Apapa axis said that he and his men have lost control of the traffic situation.
He, however, accused officials of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, of being responsible for the gridlock.
In an interview with Vanguard about the traffic situation along that route, Ajao accused NUPENG officials of taking over the control of traffic, insisting that it was their function. He said: “We have completely lost control of the situation to NUPENG officials; there is nothing we can do now.”
The situation is so bad that police officers along the route have been reduced to onlookers. A police officer, who spoke to Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, accused union officials of threatening to beat up police officers if they disturbed their operations.
The police officer lamented that despite several complaints at the Police office, no action had been taken.
The officer, who was visibly angry at the ugly situation, said: “Oga, we are tired. They said they have government authority to control the traffic, they are the ones directing the tanker drivers who only obey them.”
On the NUPENG official, the police officer said: “You said the government has given you people the authority to control the traffic, thank God these Vanguard people are here, Oya control the traffic.”
