The Lagos State Task Force says it impounded 309 motorcycles during a coordinated enforcement operation along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway aimed at improving traffic flow, restoring order and strengthening security along the busy corridor.
The operation is the latest in a series of enforcement exercises by the Lagos State Government targeting commercial motorcycle operators on restricted routes as authorities intensify efforts to enforce traffic, environmental and public safety regulations.
Conducted in collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources and supported by the Lagos State Police Command, the exercise also targeted illegal structures, street trading and other environmental infractions around the Alaba Rago International Market and other parts of the corridor.
The agency’s spokesperson, Abdulraheem Gbadeyan, stated that the operation was part of the state government’s efforts to strengthen public safety and prevent criminal elements from operating under the guise of commercial activities, Nigerian Tribune reported on Sunday.
Mr Gbadeyan said the exercise was in line with the Lagos State Government’s THEMES Plus Agenda and complemented ongoing security efforts by the Lagos State Police Command to tackle kidnapping, banditry and other forms of crime.
