“The Police officers do some things purposely. The abule egba road inward Iyanapaja is very bad. I mean only trailers can take there. The only option is to take the BRT lane down to where there is an opening to connect to the commercial lane where the road is good. They will now hide waiting for a sleek car to pass then put out their rake knowing fully well you wouldn’t want to destroy your tyres. Awon Eyan k’eyan.”
