Fashola, Obasanjo, Flex Muscles Over Seized Utility Vehicle Belonging To Obasanjo Farms

Ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo and Lagos state governor Babatunde Raji Fashola are presently engaged in a proxy war of sorts. This follows the seizure of a utility vehicle belonging to Obasanjo Farms at Ota by men of the Lagos State Transport Management Authority (LASTMA).
It was alleged that sometime last week, the vehicle violated Lagos state traffic laws hence it was impounded and efforts by the former president to ensure its prompt release hit brick walls.
In a move deemed as retaliatory, over 10 red-coloured LAG Bus belonging to Lagos State Government were forcefully diverted into the Obasanjo Farms compound in Ota between last Friday and Sunday, October 21.
This action has reportedly led to scarcity of the popular bus on Lagos-Abeokuta expressway while thousands of residents of Sango, Ota, Ifo and other settlements along the axis, have become stranded for the second day running while having a ripple effect on the cost of transportation in the area.
