Following an online report that Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has directed Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit (Taskforce) to return all seized vehicles in its custody to their respective owners in the State, the Agency has debunked the report describing it as misleading.

A statement issued by the Office of the Chairman of the Agency, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, refuted the claim saying the decision was a response to a memo he sent to the Governor seeking his approval to auction all seized vehicles in order to create space for new ones.

Egbeyemi maintained that he was not aware of the purported memo neither did he receive any directive to release impounded vehicles from the Governor, adding that it is irresponsible and mischievous of any individual to insinuate that Governor Sanwo-Olu will give such order.
