Motorcycles impounded at different times and locations in the state for contravening various traffic laws were today massively crushed at the Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja.
A total number of 482 impounded motorcycles were crushed during the exercise on Saturday.
Speaking at the site, the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, disclosed that the crushing exercise has been on since the enforcement started.
He however explained that the public crushing on Saturday, was to convince members of the public that the impounded motorcycles are actually being crushed contrary to insinuations by mischief makers that the motorbikes are being sold and recycled.
The Commissioner warned erring motorcycle operators plying restricted areas and those violating other traffic laws or using motorcycles for criminal activities in the state to have a change of mind or face the legal consequences.
The police boss assured that the crushing exercise will be a continuous one to discourage people from trampling upon the law, and reiterate determination of the Police Command to enforce the law.
