MOT capitalizes on faulty traffic light to extort commuters in Enugu


Residents of Enugu have taken to social media to express their grivience over what they have described as deliberate extortion by members of task force with the Ministry of Transport, MOT. 

Some of those who have fallen victim to these scavengers lamented that members of MOT, knowing fully that some of the traffic lights within the metropolis are faulty, lay wait at strategic points waiting for a prey who might be fully unaware of the situation. 

So far, the complaint seems to have hit different WhatsApp and news media platforms.
