Okada Riders Protest At Iyana Iba, Lagos Over Motorcycles Seizure (Photos) by aminulive(op): 10:48am On Nov 09, 2017
Information reaching the PoliticsNGR newsdesk this morning indicates that there is a serious breakdown of order at Iyana Iba, Lagos after commercial motorcycle riders organized a protest against the Lagos state taskforce over the continued seizure of motorcycles.

Scores of Okada men have blocked the Iyana-Iba road leading to the Lagos state university main-gate chanting protest songs at the top of their voices. the riders also made several bonfires on the road.

They complained bitterly about the daily harassment they suffer at the hands of taskforce operatives.

Yesterday I nearly trekked from mile 2 to Under bridge.
It is a very good move to stop the Okada riders.
but if avenues for new jobs are not opened, then it is a very bad move.

the level of extortion by the joint task force across the major cities in nigeria is disheartening. They collect as much as N30,000 for every bike they seized in Abuja satellite villages.

No wonder! I was around that area last night... mehn the way okada riders were running around with their bikes, you'd think they're all James Bond. It was even the mistakes we call police that were seizing okadas... You'd think they were fighting boko haram with the confusion they caused.

Re: Okada Riders Protest At Iyana Iba, Lagos Over Motorcycles Seizure (Photos) by Afam4eva(m): 11:33am On Nov 09, 2017
That's how went out to buy mama put at a place a bit far from my house but on the same long street. I didn't go with my car, so i walked while i waited for an okada to pass but didn't see any. So, i walked half the journey when i just decided to walk the remaining half, then when i'm done buying the food, i'll take a bike straight to my house. It was only after buying the food that i realized that i hadn't seen any okada man. I walked 1/4 of the journey when i was told that okadas were banned. By who? When? How? O boy, the trek no be here.

God bless you all.

They were caught unaware yesterday as the operation was done all over Lagos state.

LASG should look for a way forward, they cannot just push them off the road due to various issues arising from the Okada riders which is not limited to robbery and accident.
