A Police Inspector attached to B-OPS of
Traffic Department, Ikeja, Lagos, was detained in a cell at
Ikeja Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) for allegedly selling
a large number of seized commercial motorcycles (Okada)
for N10,000 and N20,000 each.
The suspect, identified as Michael Oguche, originates from Benue
State. He was the master-mind of the illegal business.
According to police sources of P.M.News, the owners of the
seized motorcycles saw their impounded motorcycles being used
by other riders recently at Ogba and Ikeja areas of the city.
When the new owners were questioned about how they got the
motorcycles, the buyers said they bought the motorcycles from a
police Inspector working at the Ikeja Command.
The angry owners of the motorcycles stormed Lagos State Police
Command to lodge complaints.
This led to arrest of Michael Oguche on September 19, 2013,
Thursday. The suspect allegedly made a confessional statement
that he was actually sold some of the seized motorcycles.
The suspect was said to have used the money he made from
selling the motorcycles to buy a van two months ago.
It has been learnt that the suspect had customers in other states,
where he sold a number of seized motorcycles.
It would be noted that the police impounded thousands of
motorcycles following the implementation of the new Lagos traffic
law since last year. An aspect of the traffic law restricts
commercial motorcycles from plying major roads in the state. The
police routinely impound motorcycles from riders who flout the
law.

I have always wondered where all the seized bikes goes to.
Kai, Nigeria.

This is good riddance to bad rubbish, it reveals the excesses of our law enforcement agents SMH.
