#WellingtonOPP would like to remind motorists of the “Move... Over” Law. When approaching stopped emergency vehicles, tow trucks, or roadside assistance vehicles with flashing lights activated, drivers are required by law to SLOW DOWN and, when safe, MOVE OVER to the next lane. This driver was observed traveling too fast and dangerously close to an active traffic stop, which is a serious safety concern. Emergency personnel need a safe buffer to assist motorists and carry out their duties on the roadside. Your caution can save lives. Penalties for non-compliance include fines ranging from $490 to $2,000 and three demerit points upon conviction. County of Wellington ^cmshow more

Today in Lagos State, yet again, we witnessed an... ugly but all-too-familiar scene: thugs allegedly sponsored and elements of the police working not to protect the people, but to intimidate, harass, and silence them. During GRV’s event, what should have been a peaceful democratic gathering turned into a targeted attempt to suppress free expression and political participation. Yet, in the face of fear and violence, brave Nigerians stood tall. We are immensely proud of those citizens who acted with courage and unity to protect one another and ensure GRV and his supporters were escorted to safety. This is the spirit of true democracy the will of the people refusing to be broken. But we must say this clearly and without apology: the use of violence, intimidation, and state-backed thuggery to undermine political opposition is a stain on Lagos State’s democratic record. This same pattern played out during the last elections, where voters were attacked, threatened, and in some cases injured simply for supporting the candidate of their choice. These are not isolated incidents they are part of a shameful strategy of political suppression that must be condemned by all lovers of democracy. Enough is enough.show more
