The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit says it has impounded 278 commercial motorcycles during a weeklong crackdown on operators violating the state’s ban on Okada operations.
The Task Force Chairman, CSP Adetayo Akerele, disclosed this in a statement signed by the agency’s spokesperson, Mr Abdulraheem Gbadeyan, on Sunday in Lagos.
Akerele said the operation was carried out in line with the Lagos State Government’s directive prohibiting commercial motorcycles from operating on highways and other restricted routes.
He said the restriction is stipulated in the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.
