Lagos tow fine scandal raises outrage as motorists are asked to pay N100,000 into a private firm’s account, sparking concerns over transparency Q uestions have been raised following a growing Lagos tow fine scandal that exposed motorists being asked to pay hefty fines into a privately owned account. The controversy began when a Toyota Highlander without a number plate was seized and fined N100,000. Shockingly, the fine was directed into a Keystone Bank account belonging to Waoh Global Logistics Services, a private firm. The ticket, which referenced the Transport Sector Reform Law & Regulations 2018, contained glaring errors including the word “paid” misspelt as “pais.” No specific offence was listed on the document. Further scrutiny showed a revenue code (4080023), agency code (4390000) and a payment ID (C-1114875) inscribed, while the enforcement officer identified only as Afeez instructed the vehicle owner to “remove all valuables.” Investigations revealed Waoh Global Logistics Services was only incorporated on 9 October 2024 with RC 7992794, less than a year before this fine, raising serious transparency concerns.
