LASPA FAULTS HEALTH PLUS PHARMACY FOR MISINFORMING PUBLIC WITH VIRAL VIDEO
… Organization Shunned Payment of Annual Corporate Parking/Set Back Levy The attention of the Lagos State Parking Authority has been drawn to a viral video circulated by Health Plus Pharmacy, located in Allen, Ikeja.
The video is a deliberate misrepresentation of facts to whip up public sentiments against against government officials on lawful duty.
In order to set the records straight, the issues that led to clamping the tyre of the vehicle parked in front of Health Plus premises are detailed below;
Lagos State Parking Authority is the regulatory body established to monitor private and commercial facilities to forestall indiscriminate parking along roads and setbacks in the State.
In December 2022, the Authority issued demand notices for Y2023 parking levies to private and public corporate organisations, including Health Plus Pharmacy, and thereafter, circulated reminders that were duly acknowledged by defaulting organisations.
Officers seen in the video were on a final visit to seek payment for legitimate levies due to the Lagos State Government. It is evident that the officials were non confrontational and professional in their conduct during the exercise.
All demand notices served to the company and duly acknowledged are hereby presented to members as a display of transparency by our institution.
LASPA will not be deterred from performing its regulatory role by unpatriotic individuals who resort to misinformation and fake news in order to evade payment of taxes and levies due to the government.
For the avoidance of doubt, any individual found deliberately peddling falsehood to defame the officials of the Lagos State Government on monitoring and compliance activities will be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
The LASPA officers were accompanied by police van to the scene to unclamp the car without saying a word other than their ordering one of the officers to video the events
