The Lagos State Task Force has ordered owners/operators of commercial motorbikes, ‘Gokada’ and ‘Maxokada’ to direct their riders to comply with the Lagos State Road Traffic Laws of 2012, just as it impounded 23 motorbikes on restricted routes and arrested 10 riders.

The Chairman of the Agency, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi disclosed this during enforcement operations on motorcyclists operating on restricted routes as well as those driving against one-way traffic around Ikeja, Ojota and Maryland.

CSP Egbeyemi stated that out of 115 motorcycles impounded during the enforcement operations 22 were of ‘Gokada and Maxokada’, adding their violation of traffic regulations by the motorcycle operators is illegal as they do not have valid documentation backing their operations in the State.

He reiterated that in accordance with the law no commercial motorcycle operator is allowed to operate around 475 restricted routes including highways and bridges across the State, saying “the government enjoins members of the public to henceforth desist from patronising commercial motorcyclists on all restricted routes as passengers are also liable to prosecution”.

“It was an eye-sore seeing operator of these newly branded commercial motorcycles (Gokada / Maxokada) struggling with motorists for the right of way on our highways and bridges across the State”, he asserted.

The Chairman revealed that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Zubairu Muazu has directed the immediate prosecution of the arrested riders.

In as much as I believe in abiding by the law. I think the law should be reviewed for the riders to meet their daily targets.

Long overdue. I visited Lagos last December, twas an eyesore seeing how these guys operate as though they are above the law. You would see them struggling with motorists on roads they ordinarily shouldn't be. Gokada ko, Gunkeke ni

Nothing works in this God forsaken country

I agree with you. Gokada and Maxi should ensure that the bikes are up to route specifications and that their bikers should be professional by following traffic laws however, they are not even the big threat. Those abokis that think they are still in the north, those tricycle operators and the notorious yellow buses are the biggest threats to road users. They are the ones that need to be dealt with... Mercilessly for that matter

WildHibiscus:
Lol, that overhyped Okada that has a lower CC than the ordinary Bajaj okada

They use 200CC, Please clean your mouth

employment dem no create;fix roads mba,comot trailers and tankers wey block road ,4 where...person go stuck for traffic over hours now dem wan comot gokada wey person dey take dodge traffic

sammirano:
Which one be gokada again

Ambode wife Uber for okada

Bleep rules wey no provide jobs. Instead of encouraging them na to dey impound and grind their means of livelihood.

Them no dey pay dem unemployment benefits
Them no dey give dem free breakfast

Many things just dey this country wey dey make person vex.

So make dem render dem jobless so that we will nt be sleeping at night again. The job of govt is to regulate and provide enabling environment for businesses nt kill them. Those yeye rules should be revisited. If you know the history behind the rules, you will know that fashola made those law to protect lagosian from reckless okada riders. Most of whom dont obey traffic rules nor have common helmet.

LASG should try and review the traffic law
