Hardly had he changed his lane than a LASTMA traffic official blocked his car, ordering him to pull over to the left for committing traffic offence. At this point, Adams was already making the right turn to take him to Ikeja. "What offense had I committed? I only changed lane and it did not disturb the flow of traffic" he shouted out at the adamant LASTMA traffic official who refuse to budge. By now, a long queue of traffic was already forming behind Adams. Two other LASTMA officials came support the first one, to apprehend Adams. They were trying to force open the doors of his car, which mercifully, were all locked. "Oga, wind up your glass", Adams can hear some passers-by advising him. This he quickly did.
When the LASTMA traffic officials saw that Adams resisted them they started removing the wheel covers of his car. He wanted to turn left to escape via Oba Ogunji Road to Ogba, but the LASTMA officials commanded one other private car to block his exit, which the man obeyed. Seeing this, Adams lowered his window glass slightly and shouted at the driver of the car blocking his escape route, "Mr. Man, what is your business with them? Did I offend you?" On hearing this, the other guy zoomed off with his car, leaving the escape route free for Adams.
As a LASTMA official was coming to block the escape route, Adams pressed down his accelerator, turned sharply right, and his car making a screeching sound, shot forward like a rocket. The LASTMA traffic official that was coming to block his exit jumped out of his path like an Olympic gold medalist. Adams sped away like a maniac, making clean his escape. He lost three wheel covers to the LASTMA traffic officials.
