The Arewa community in Lagos State has said it supports the state government’s ban on Okada, urging its members to comply with the directive.

This was stated after a meeting of the group on Sunday where issues bordering on the Okada ban by the state government were discussed.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting, the group charged its members to avoid commuting in the Apapa, Surulere, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Eti-Osa, and Ikeja areas affected by the ban.

Part of the communiqué read, “We resolved today unanimously that all our members must comply with the provisions of the laws of Lagos State. We are law abiding citizens and will always continue to intimate all our members to continue to be law abiding and operate only within the ambits of the law. We support all measures taken by the Lagos State Government in its efforts toward protecting lives and property of all Lagosians.”


The community, however, pointed out that crimes associated with Okada were most times committed by foreigners.


“We condemn in totality the activities of all criminal elements, who are mostly foreigners from Niger Republic, Chad, Cameroon, and other neighbouring countries who have infiltrated the ranks of genuine riders, thereby perpetrating all forms of crime in Lagos State,” the statement added.

Whether they are in support or otherwise, the ban stands

When you are the anvil, wait. When you are the hammer, strike. Northerners sabi politics very well.

Buhari's tenure is fast coming to an end and they know best to behave rather than engage in a battle they cant win.

Better

Abuja needs to follow suit.

The crimes and menace these okada guys commit no be here and most of them take drugs.

You'll see the cleaning their bikes while on motion, na drugs or petrol dey inside the tag wey them dey take clean the bike.

These guys had a plan that they put in motion. It did not work out as planned due to resistance by southerners. They will lay low because their patron is on his way out.

I will only believe you if you can show me evidence of this so call plans and your source.

It seems you guys think Nigeria is under the military regime where the head of state dictate to the governor's.

There is 19 state in Northern Nigeria.

You can't just sit in your house and tell me Mallams have an agenda in Lagos without any facts to prove your point, and you will expect me to believe such fable.

Are they planning to introduce sharia law through their Okada business or what?

You're right.

I'm happy all southerners fought Ruga to a standstill. If not, what happened to Deborah would have been a common occurrence down South.

We cannot give them the chance to mass in numbers. That's where their bad behavior rears its ugly head.

Fear catch them

Them get choice before?

Good.

What a country Nigeria has become
under Buhari.

⏩⏩All kinds of aliens from neighboring
countries are allowed in without any
forms of documentation or checks, so
long as they are Muslims or Fulani.

It's the same type of people that
collaborate with local Fulani to form
kidnap gangs all over Nigeria. They also
form most of the rank and file of
Boko haram terrorists..❌❌❌

That's why Buhari made sure that
Immigration and Customs bosses are
all Hausa Fulani in order to facilitate his
dream of turning Nigeria into the Jericho
or permanent promised land for all Fulani
of Africa to finally settle. ❌❌❌❌

That's why he allows northern states
governors to negotiate with them and
pay them hundred of millions in
appeasement money and also turns a
blind eye to their self enrichment through
the generally unchallenged kidnapping
epidemic they have launched against
Nigeria. ☠️☠️☠️☠️

Yet others are packed in trailers from
the northernNigeria borders and transferred to any State of their choosing in southern Nigeria to go and populate and cause mayhem
when the need arises. ☠️☠️☠️☠️

All these unchecked influx and
movement of aliens is only possible in
the Muslim Fulani controlled Nigeria ❗️❗️☹️☹️☹️

This news is shocking. Their people are the ones who ride Okada the most.

Very good! Most of these okada riders are not even Nigerians

Most don't even understand simple English like come and go

And these so-called foreigners from Niger Republic et.al... Where is their camp? Do they have a separate community from the Arewa's?

No problem, if it is the right thing to do, do it

Ok

Arewa in Lagos?

They were wrongly framed by the secessionist but Chigozie Anthony was the mastermind of the lynching.

It is good they support it, let's make Nigeria a better place.

Anywhere you have them in mass there’s bound to be trouble ! Terrorists!

The bad eggs has brought hardship to the genuine okada riders.

You have no choice. The ban stands and if you violate the rules, you lose your bike and end up in jail.

Obey the law or go back to your sharia regions, no one wants you people here anyway.
