Lagos task force impounds 82 commercial motorcycles
During its routine enforcement of the ban on highways and restricted routes, the Lagos task force has impounded 82 commercial motorcycles (Okada).
The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.
Mr Osiyemi explained that the areas visited included Alakija, Iyana-Iba, Festac, and Mile 2, as well as Berger Suya inward Mile 2 Oke.
“A total of 82 commercial motorcycles were impounded for violations in all the areas visited,” he said.
He noted that the reduced number of recalcitrant okadas on the highways reflected the positive impact of consistent enforcement and compliance efforts across the state.
“This has significantly reduced the crime rate in the metropolis,” he added.
He said the operation was carried out smoothly, with the highest level of civility and professionalism.
