The presence of a Lagos state task force unit around the Ojota area of Lagos on Monday morning resulted in a spectacular scene as residents complied with the rule against crossing the highway.

Residents at the scene shared pictures of themselves and many others huddled up to use the pedestrian bridge to avoid being caught and fined by the task force unit commonly referred to as KAI – the Kick Against Indiscipline brigade, saddled with the responsibility of ensuring compliance with certain laws in Lagos.
The indiscriminate crossing of the highway in times past had resulted in accidents leading to loss of lives and limbs thereby forcing the Lagos state government to enforce the use of pedestrian bridges.
Some Lagos residents have however urged the state government to ensure proper coordination on the pedestrian bridge at Ojota as the large number of people trying to use the bridge at the same time nearly resulted in a stampede on Monday.
