The Lagos State Task Force on Sunday said it has impounded 4,500 motorcycles (Okada) from riders who had defaulted the state’s traffic law.

It said that it was was awaiting further directives from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on whether to destroy them or not.

NAN reports that Head of Public Affairs Unit of the Agency, Mr Taofik Adebayo, disclosed this in a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday.

Adebayo said that the enforcement of the laws concerning the safety of lives regarding motorcycle riding in the state had drastically reduced the number of ‘okada’ casualties recorded in hospitals.

According to him, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu during his first 100 days in office said that he will soon give directives on what to do with the impounded bikes in line with the operations of motorcycles in the state.

The officer said that Lagos State being the economic hub of the country, had been attracting people from across the country.

He said that the insurgence that led to the displacement of Northerners, forced them to migrate to Lagos and take to the motorcycle transportation which they considered as one of the easiest businesses for them.

“Earlier in the month, we intercepted no fewer than 44 people with their bikes in an articulated vehicle coming from the northern part of the country into Lagos”, he said.

The spokesman, however, revealed that the task force had to release them because they had “proper identification.”

Adebayo said that the laws regarding motorcycle riding in the state were not punitive in nature but corrective in order to reduce the high incidence of accidents related to motorcycle riding.

This could a retaliation by Tinubu and his goons. Concerning Osibanjo's torment in the hands of the cabal.

95% of all okada riders in YorubaLand are Northerners.

Quote me anywhere.

So easy to destroy, but very hard to build.

Well, this part of the world enjoys destroying, but we have little intelligence producing.

Take these okada to workshops and let our engineers and artisans study them and come up with something productive.

Transit buses could be yorubas but the okada riders are Northerners.
