The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has banned the operations of commercial motorcycles popularly called Okada, in six local governments.
The governor announced that the ban is “indefinite and total”. He gave the order on Wednesday while speaking with all Divisional Police Officers and Area Commanders across the state at the Lagos House, Ikeja.
Sanwo-Olu asked the Lagos Police Command and other security agencies to enforce the ban.
The six local governments listed by the governor are Ikeja, Surulere, Eti-Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island, and Apapa.
The Lagos State Government had banned motorcycles in different parts of the state in the past. But riders have consistently flouted such directives with impunity.
