The Lagos State Taskforce continues its rigorous enforcement against the illegal operation of commercial motorcycles (okada) in restricted areas of the state. During recent operations carried out at Berger, Mile 2 Oke, and Orile area, a total of 82 Okadas were impounded.
The Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele reiterated the Agency’s unwavering stance on the illegal operations, stressing that both riders and passengers found violating the ban will be prosecuted.
“Passengers on okada are as guilty as the riders. If caught, they will face the full weight of the law alongside the riders”, he warned.
The Lagos State Taskforce remains committed to enforcing the law and ensuring that Lagos roads remain safe and motorable. Residents are encouraged to adhere to the regulations, as these efforts are in place to protect the lives and property of all Lagosians.
All 82 impounded motorcycles will be forfeited to the State Government through the court.
