The Lagos State Parking Authority has disassociated itself from a man identified as “Isaiah,” who appeared in a viral video wearing a jacket branded with the Lagos State Government and LASPA logos while holding a parking permit.
In a statement on Saturday, the agency confirmed that the individual in the video is not an authorised LASPA agent.
Part of the statement reads, “All activities or actions suggested in the video are illegal,” LASPA stated, emphasising that the on-street parking scheme in Lagos has not commenced.
“A pilot scheme is in the pipeline, but no individual or agent has been authorised to collect fees for on-street parking or issue permits for such purposes,” the agency noted.
LASPA urged Lagos residents to be vigilant and avoid engaging with unauthorised individuals claiming to represent the agency.
The agency further explained that the permit featured in the video is exclusively issued for setback parking and is not being used for its intended purpose.
