Good morning sir, your good work will not go unnoticed, however, I think it’s appropriate for your people to have a proper identity on sight. Secondly, running after kids on high way will not sit well with me. There should be a better safety approach to this. Every life matters!

Dude, you forever remain eternally stupid! You don’t post pictures or videos of you raiding kids! It’s not done anywhere, such videos have no place on the internet. You’re the most stupid person in the history of governance in the southwest!

Commendable action by the Lagos State Environmental Taskforce in addressing public nuisance and street begging. However, I urge the team to prioritize safety during such operations. Chasing suspects with vehicles in heavy traffic poses significant risks to lives.
