The Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA) has impounded 18 cows along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway near Abiola Ajimobi Technical University after repeated complaints from residents.
Motorists and residents had flagged the constant presence of cattle on the highway as a major obstruction and accident risk.
OYRLEA officials first inspected the area and traced where the cows were kept. Alerted, the herders moved them before officers returned.
In a follow-up unannounced operation today, the enforcement team caught the herders off guard and impounded the animals.
OYRLEA said the action reflects its commitment to responding to public complaints and removing threats to safety and traffic flow.
The Authority urged residents to keep reporting activities that endanger lives or obstruct public roads, assuring prompt action on credible complaints.
