The Sector Commander of the commission, Mr Clement Oladele, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota that the step was necessary in order to ensure free flow of traffic and safety during the festive period.

“The increase of vehicular movement during festive period  has necessitated the need to put the Special Patron on the roads to decongest gridlocks  and ensure sanity,” he said.

According to him, the special patrol, which began on Dec. 19, will end on Jan. 15, 2017.
