Mr Akerele warned stubborn Okada operators to stay away from highways and restricted routes.
Lagos command spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin stated that the attack happened after the days of enforcement of the Okada ban in the state by the police.
Mr Abdulraheem told journalists that the unit impounded at least 20,000 commercial motorcycles between January and September.
Transportation commissioner Frederic Oladeinde said that the ban was the second phase of the plan by the state government to gradually phase out Okada in the state.
Governor Aminu Masari, however, lifted the restriction to ease movement during the month of Ramadan.
On July 3, the state government signed a law banning motorcycle riding in the three council areas, Enugu North, Enugu South and Enugu East.
The federal government had announced that it was considering a ban on motorcycles as part of its strategy to cripple terrorists’ activities in the country.
ActionAid said the planned ban could further deepen the national multidimensional poverty index if measures are not taken to address the population involved.
“The ban on motorcycles in the main city is still in force. We only allowed tricycles in and around semi-urban areas.”
This was due to security reports of a possible breakdown of law and order during the protest, forcing some courts not to sit.
