The operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Agency (Taskforce) have commenced a clampdown on illegal commercial motorcycle operators plying restricted routes including all inners streets across Lagos.

The Chairman of the Agency, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi disclosed that the clampdown which started today had 125 motorcycles impounded for flouting traffic regulations around Ejigbo and Cele bus-stops.

He stated that the agency was compelled to embark on the clampdown, sequel to a series of complaints received on daily basis from innocent members of the public about criminal activities perpetrated by the illegal commercial motorcycle operators, both early in the morning and late at night.

He said: “We are going to make sure that there is total compliance with the Lagos Traffic Regulations by all commercial motorcycle operators in all our Local Governments and Local Council Council Development Areas as well as by those operating within inner streets”.

“In accordance with the Traffic Laws, every motorcycle operator must wear crash helmets, be above 18 years, not ride on kerb/median/road-setbacks, avoid restricted routes, not carry more than one passenger/pregnant woman/Adult with baby/Child below 12 years, not install any musical gadgets, must wear an apron, not operate beyond 10pm, operate with a rider’s permit and have their motorcycle registered with Government”, he added.

According to the Chairman, research conducted by the government revealed that most riders of the illegal commercial motorcycles are not from Nigeria but from neighbouring countries, adding that some of them are also involved in criminal activities in the State.

He, therefore, warned all commercial motorcycle operators to ensure that their motorcycles are duly registered with the Government as anyone caught would be seriously dealt with in accordance with the law.

While warning the general public, especially motorists to ensure that their valuable items are safely kept while in traffic, the Chairman solicited for the cooperation of all residents in providing useful security information about criminal activities around them to security agencies through the Lagos State free Emergency Toll Lines 112 & 767.

So manabbgrills won't have work again

At least it will check mate their excessive recklessness on the road.

The Lagos state government are thieves! they banned motorcycles long ago for safety reasons. now they legalise O ride and Go ride because they get paid handsomely thereby endergering the lives of lagosians forgetting the innocent lives which was the reason for the ban. i don't blame them though.....in everything. i blame Nigerians for being the most gullible set of people on planet earth

Progressive city! Introduce these conditions in Abuja and you will not have 1 commercial motorcycle operator. They are like rats!! VERY annoying pests constituting a nuisance in Kubwa, Lugbe, Lokogoma axis

Apart from supporting Arsenal, what other things are you doing to show that you are not serious in life?

No other option. Armed Robbery to be on the rise

I guess GO kada ,O ride are the legal riders

you are being mislead. be wise man. they clamp down the cyclist. what happenes to O ride and Go ride? are they clamping them down too? if no, then lagos state government are nothing but thieves

Okay but why do I feel like Opay is behind this new move because weeks ago, Lagos State government approved of Opay and officials were seen taking pictures with the CEO of Opay so are you all also thinking what am thinking?

That's an open access for police extortion..
God guide all

Please how do I get a riders permit?

the bolded is the motive behind this. They have collected money from O ride and the likes ,what more than to phase out competition.

loverboy442:

Because those ones are regulated. They use crash helmet. They don't ride dangerously like your common okada who ride facing oncoming vehicles and ride on BRT dedicated lanes etc! I hope I have been able to disabuse your mind against the belief that Nigerians are the most gullible people on earth? Enjoy your weekend.
