The management of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, has threatened to arrest and prosecute skit and film makers over unauthorized use of its uniform.
Bolaji Oreagba, the General Manager of LASTMA, frowned at the demeaning manner in which movie and skit makers portray LASTMA institution in their movies and skits.
Oreagba, issued the warning on Friday, after seeing a fully kitted actress with LASTMA uniform in one of the yoruba films, titled ‘Gbogbo Lowo,” and other skits movies on different social media.
He said: “Film or skit makers who portray as LASTMA Officer without applying for, and being duly issued a permit letter for such portrayals, should desist with immediate effect or face the full wrath of the Law.
The General Manager stated, “We implore National Association of Nigeria Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTA) and other affliated bodies to warn their members as anyone caught using LASTMA uniform without an approved permit would be prosecuted”.
