Okada Rider Strips To Evade Arrest. by Fatdon(m): 5:37am On Nov 06, 2012
LAGOS — A 42-year old commercial motorcycle operator popularly called Okada rider, Mr. Sunday Udoh, yesterday, stripped himself when a team of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Agency Taskforce attempted to arrest him for violating the road traffic law.

Udoh who was subsequently arrested at about 10:30 a.m. on Acme Road, Ikeja, immediately stripped to evade impounding of his motorcycle by the task-force led by the chairman, Superintendent, Bayo Sulaimon .

According to Kunle Olatunde, an eyewitness, “the task-force arrested him and two other Okada riders. But immediately he was arrested, Udoh stripped himself to attract public sympathy.

“Despite the fact that he was not manhandled when he was arrested, he removed his clothes and wore them back.”

The incident resulted in a gridlock along the ever busy road.

Speaking to Vanguard after his arrest, Udoh said: “I didn’t know when and the reason I stripped myself. I was unconscious for several minutes. It was an hour after that I was told what happened after I was arrested.”

According to him; “I collected the Okada from a friend on hire purchase at N45, 000. Also, I have a wife and two children to feed; all these resulted to my temporary madness.”

Speaking, leader of the task-force, Sulaimon said that Udoh was arrested by the team because he violated the new road traffic law.

He said: “We did not touch him. We gave him several minutes to do whatever he wanted to do. And his behaviour then caused a traffic jam on the road.”

Re: Okada Rider Strips To Evade Arrest. by Clemzy16(m): 9:21am On Nov 06, 2012
Na so craze dey start! Reports shows that people have 5 minute madness everyday. So, his case was nothing differenet. But on a more serious note, this traffic laws is not helping matter in lagos. It's just a way of making the poor poorer.

Re: Okada Rider Strips To Evade Arrest. by Dmouthed(m): 9:26am On Nov 06, 2012
The way some people support this Okada ban so ignorantly is really annoying. I watched how 2 Okada guys had to escape POLICE yesterday and its was a deadly attenpt.

Okada ban is not a bad thing but the process if implementation in Lagos State is.

Re: Okada Rider Strips To Evade Arrest. by LeStylo: 9:44am On Nov 06, 2012
Junk journalism!
Was he eventually arrested or released?
Was his bike impounded?
Nothing in the story detailed how he "evaded" arrest as the headline purported!

Vanguard Editor, dem suppose break bottle for u o!

AND EVENTUALLY IF SOMEONE USED HIS/HER PHONE TO PICTURE THE NAKED GUY WITH THE TASK FORCE OFFICIALS AT THE BACK GROUND,UPLOADED IT TO NAIRALAND WITHOUT REALLY KNEW WHAT WENT WRONG, (JUST LIKE THE ONE POSTED HERE RECENTLY), EVERYONE WILL START SAYING RUBBISH TO ATTACK THE OFFICIALS. THESE OKADA PEOPLE CAN DO ANYTHING TO EVADE ARREST.I SAW ONE RECENTLY ALSO AT OSHODI THAT WAS EVADING ARREST, REMOVED ALL HIS CLOTHS AND STARTED SCREAMING TO AVOID ARREST AND ALSO TO ATTRACT SYMPATHY.EVENTUALLY HE WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE WHEN SOME SOLDERS INTERVENED BUT WAS REALLY BEATEN SILLY BY THE SOLDERS BEFORE THEY PLEADED WITH THE POLICE.I DONT BLAME THEM SHA. COUNTRY HARD SMALL.
