IN furtherance of Lagos State ban on the operation of commercial motorcycles (popularly known as okada) on the highways and other restricted routes, the Lagos State Task Force has begun full enforcement of the ban on all major highways and restricted routes in the state.
Earlier today, the agency raided Iyana-Iba Road, Badagry Expressway, Igboelerin and Alakija where okada operations continued despite the ban. 
According to the Agency Chairman, CSP Adetayo Akerele, more enforcement for compliance activities is ongoing to completely rid the axis of their menace.
Over 105 okada were impounded in a single sweep, all bikes seized will be forfeited to the state government, according to Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, Director, Press & Public Affairs of the agency.
