The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has issued a strict warning to all skitmakers and filmmakers, who use their uniform unlawfully for entertainment purposes.
The body said for them to portray the character of a LASTMA officer, all filmmakers or skitmakers should ensure that they apply for a permit which will be approved by the body.
The General Manager of the body, Mr Bolaji Oreagba released a statement on Friday which stated, "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.
We implore the National Association of Nigeria Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTA) and other affiliated bodies to warn their members as anyone caught using LASTMA uniform without an approved permit would be prosecuted."
Recall that few weeks ago, the Nigerian police called for the prosecution of skitmaker Cute Abiola over portraying the Nigerian Police Force in a bad light.
