By Missang AKPET 

Brothers Across Nigeria (BAN), a not for profit organisation has erected a traffic post in honour of the Late biker Lasisi Efangha who passed on February 16 2025.

The traffic booth which was erected in honour of the late biker, Socialite and APC stalwart was sited at Highway by Diamond junction, the exact spot where the late biker had a bike accident that claimed his life.

Speaking during the unveiling of the booth, the Cross River State president of BAN Mr. Emeka Ekpe said the traffic boot is an edifice erected not just in honour of the late Lasisi but to aid in cautioning motorist and other road users to be cautious while using the road.

"This traffic booth serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for vigilance on our roads.

"It also serves as a tribute to Lasisi Effangha, who was not just a brother but a socialite who left an indelible mark on our lives" he added.

Mr. Ekpe maintained that the booth is built to serve humanity which is one of the core values of the association BAN.

Lasisi Effangha Memorial Traffic Boot

Handing over the traffic booth, the project manager Builder Samuel Ekanem said the booth though memoriam of Late Lasisi, it also serves as a constant reminder that we have to be safe when we ply our routes.

He explained that the traffic booth comes with an inscription "Under That Helmet" which was an inscription coined by the Late Lasisi which was popular among his peers and fellow bikers.

"With the words "Under That Helmet", he was indirectly warning motorist to be careful while using the roads and be cautious of bikers as under that helmet could be their father, mother, brother or friend.

"The booth also comes with an amber solar light at the top with the words "Slow Down" which should also serves as a reminder for motorist of the incident that occured at that spot and the need to slow down" he explained.
