Hell was let loose at Festac area of Lagos State, last week, after operators of commercial motorcycle (popularly called okada), in their numbers, engaged a team of policemen in a fierce battle around 7th Avenue.

At the end of the shoot-out which lasted for over two hours, one of the motorcyclists was killed while others, including a policeman were severely wounded.

How the trouble started

Crime Guard gathered that trouble started brewing between the Police and okada riders after several reports were lodged at the Festac Police Division about the increasing reckless and criminal attitudes of commercial motorcyclists in and around the area. It was learnt that there had been series of serious complaints by residents of the area and visitors about the increasing number of the motorcyclists, coupled with their attendant dangers to other road users.

Jungle justice

Investigations revealed that they raised the alarm after it was noticed that, at the slightest provocation or brush with any motorist, the motorcyclists will invade the scene in large numbers and wreak havoc by either burning the vehicle or cannibalising it. “A few days ago, a Toyota Camry driven by a lady unavoidably brushed the motorcycle ridden by one dishevelled rider”, one of the residents told Crime Guard. “Before one could say Jack Robinson, no fewer than 200 okada riders gathered there in sympathy and before the lady could utter a word, her brand new car was set ablaze in broad daylight. After wreaking the havoc, the jubilant dirty fellows fled in different directions, leaving the lady helpless. Some even rough handled her.”

Criminal activities

The motorcyclists were alleged to be engaged in all sorts of criminal acts. Police sources said reports indicated that they normally trail people that go to banks to cash money and end up dispossessing them of their hard-earned money. According to one of the sources, “Recently, they waylaid a police patrol team at 4th and 5th Avenue and succeeded in killing one Corporal Emmanuel Emefiele while four of his colleagues escaped death narrowly but with serious wounds.

It was an unprovoked attack. They just sighted the patrol team and laid ambush for them. As soon as the policemen approached the spot where they normally park their motorcycles, they went haywire, attacking them with all sorts of dangerous weapons. Police later succeeded in arresting the suspected killers identified as Tari Vadaya Gau and Jona Vadiya. They were transferred to the State Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department (SCIID), from where they were remanded in prison custody.

Police joint operation

Based on these ugly developments, Crime Guard gathered that a combined team of crack police squad from both the Area Command and Festac Division swung into action by embarking on a joint operation aimed at dislodging the motorcyclists and putting a stop to their increasing menace.
