Lagos Government Declares "War" On Okada Riders - Massive Hunt Down Ongoing by Realdeals(op): 1:39pm On Nov 09, 2017

- Massive Hunt down Ongoing
- Enforcement beyond Lagos traffic law - motorist

The Lagos State Government have began a massive hunt down of Okada riders across the state. The crackdown which began on monday was directed by the state governor Mr Akinwunmi Ambode. The State Governor, had directed that the Police and other security agencies concerned redouble efforts to ensure the Law is complied with, assuring that the clampdown will be sustained vigorously on a daily basis.

However, motorist has complained that the crackdown is way beyond what was stipulated in the Lagos Traffic law that banned Okada. They claimed the law only barred okada services on major state road and not inner road and streets as it is been currently enforced.

They claimed Okada riders that ply inner streets and lanes that are inaccessible to commercial vehicles are also being arrested, thereby forcing untold hardship on Lagosians whose house are far from the major roads.

This is what you get when everyone wants to live in Lagos by fire by force. The number of ifesinashi buses shipping in IPOB almajiris to lagos on a daily basis is increasing by the day. These people have no economic plans in Lagos than to become traffic traders and okada riders. Once they are able to afford a room rent, they will start calling Lagos a no man's land like their mad fellows. They claim igboland has the highest mansions in the country yet they cant sit and thrive there. Their success in life is tied to Yoruba states yet they are always ungrateful and call Yoruba names at the least provocations.i support the clamp down on okada riders and fan yogo sellers. After all the population of yorubas riding okada is not up to 5%. These people must be dealt with so they can start respecting their host. The next clamp down should be on Alaba and Ladipo markets. Nonsense sad

Senseless directive. People being forced to trek miles to get home. Why are these people so distant from people they governed? Useless and senseless people.
