It sounds very much like a joke? But, it is not a joke!
This is the position of the Lagos State Government, to
ensure it enforce the lagos state law banning street hawking in the state.
Lagos state Governor Akiwunmi Ambode while featuring on a
programme Your-view on TV Continental on Friday morning made it known, that, it
is now a crime to sell or buy goods on the street of Lagos
Although street hawking is illegal in the State, it is not
really being enforced, but Gov. Ambode said the state is now ready to begin massive
enforcement of the laws.
Under the laws, Lagos residents could be sent to jail for
buying goods from street and traffic hawkers. Street buyers and sellers are now
both liable to six months imprisonment or N90,000 fine.
