The Lagos State Task Force has carried out a week-long raid in several parts of the state in which 322 motorcycles were seized.
Headed by the Director of the Agency, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Shola Jejeloye, the raids took place in Agege/Fagba, Apapa and Ajah, where pockets of activities by Okada operators had been seen and reported to the Agency.
Speaking of the incidents, Jejeloye vowed that all impounded motorcycles will be crushed, while those who failed to adhere to the ban will be arrested.
He said: “We have carried out marathon raids across the state because sightings have been made of pockets of Okada operations in some of the areas visited, mostly in the evenings and during the day to ensure that the ban on their activities is completely achieved.
“A total number of 322 motorcycles have been seized since the commencement of the week-long raid.
“More raids will be carried out in the coming days and we will ensure that we hit them in their strongholds and cripple their activities. No commercial motorcycle operator, violating the State’s Traffic Laws will be spared till total compliance is attained.”
