Fashola Blames Okada For Damoche’s Murder by fkaz(m): 7:14am On Mar 02, 2013
Commercial motorcycle transportation, popularly known as okada, is once again in the eye of the storm following the brutal murder of singer and student, Damino Damoche, last Thursday in Lagos by gunmen on Okada.
Before Damoche’s murder, okada activities had been restricted inthe state, and now, the state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, is using the Damoche murder as an opportunity to campaign against Okada riding.
Condemning the gruesome killing of the singer cum student, Fashola urged residents to see reason for restriction of commercial Okada operators in the state. He said that the recent murder and previous ones buttressed the state government’s objectives of taming crime through the new road traffic law which restricts the activities of commercial motorcycle popularly called Okada.
“Most dastardly acts are perpetrated with the use of okada so residents have to be security conscious and on their guard all the time. On Thursday, Damino Damoche was shot at the entrance gate of LASU. Those who perpetrated the evil act used Okada.
“Just one month ago, a medical doctor was killed by some armed men who were riding Okada. The doctor would have been of benefit to those in need of medical services. “Some people may be saying that the ban on Okada has rendered them useless.
Is this a suitable business, a business that has led to the death of many who could contribute effectively to the development of the country especially Lagos State?” Lamenting further, he said, “Those who perpetrate these evil acts aren’t spirits.
We (Lagos residents) are the ones offering them shelter when they come to the state.” “Anyone you suspect doesn’t live in your neighbourhood, report such people to the nearest police station, the chairman of their Community Development Area, CDA, and landlords should ensure that they don’t rent their house to criminals.”

The man is a politician na.
I'm sure they must have briefed him also about the reprisal killings which confirms that the slain musician too has strong affiliation to the group.
He will use the opportunity well for maximum political advantage.

Is this man an idiiot?

I blame Wole Soyinka for Damoche's murder.

And guess what? As crazy as mine sounds, it is actually closer to the truth than Fashola's wink

Fashola is just an escapist enjoying grace from shallow mided people. U get heinous crimes like this go unchecked when necessary security measures are jettisoned. U can't check crimes or govern successfully if u dnt run a comprehensive database. Too weak to think old heads presiding over an equally too lazy to reason majority.

any other thing except accepting that the security was not up to the task is acceptable i guess. What happened to all those RRS guys that speed about in pairs on bikes, shldnt a place as strategic as LASU have some of them around there? I bet they are only good in pursuing traffic offenders that wld yield money. Oga BRF lets blame the gun makers & d bullet makers too, after that we should ban vehicles & houses(kidnappers use those too)

I am disappointed in Fashola for saying this. Even if okada had not been invented @ all, his killers would have devised another means to eliminate him. This is like calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

What if they had used glorified okada (power bike), he would have blamed charley boy or if they had used keke napep, he would have blamed maruwa for it abi?

Fashola is beginning to play mind games on lagosians trying to get support for his gruesome decision to ban okada.

This statement goes to show Fashola's sophistication in governance. Here in the UK and even in the US, you often see and hear politicians use an incident to promote a government piece of legislation and to drive home their message why it is highly needed. And it helps keep the issues at the fore front and people continue to discuss it and expose themselves towhat the legislation is all about. It has achieved success for most of these politicians down here and no doubt this is exactly what Fashola was trying to do.

His message about community policing by the citizen is very important. A situation where some particular people will go to the village and bring 15 people back with them to lagos to come squat in the name of doing business, hustling etc and after a few days you can't find them anymore. Yet people are wondering why crime in Lagos is suddenly on the increase. Those that live in that neighbourhood should rightly inform the police and security agencies so they keep an eye on such peeps.

This was how people from Akwa-Ibom invaded the GRA in Benin with their brothers and sisters all in the name of squatting and doing Okada business during the day and the once very peaceful GRA with its lovely greens became a zone of constant robbery!
