THE Lagos State Task Force continues its rigorous enforcement against the illegal operation of commercial motorcycles, popularly called okada, in restricted areas of the state including recent operations carried out in Berger, Sabo in Ikorodu, Ikotun and other areas of the State.
The Chairman of the Lagos State Task Force, CSP Adetayo Akerele, reiterated the agency’s unwavering stance on the illegal operations, stressing that both riders and passengers found violating the ban will be prosecuted. 
“Passengers on okada are as guilty as the riders. If caught, they will face the full weight of the law alongside the riders,” he warned.
“The Lagos State Task Force remains committed to enforcing the law and ensuring that Lagos roads remain safe and motorable. Residents are encouraged to adhere to the regulations, as these efforts are in place to protect the lives and property of all Lagosians”, CSP Akerele was quoted as saying by Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, Director, Press and Public Affairs of the agency.
All the 128 impounded motorcycles from all the locations will be forfeited to the state government through the court, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem further stated.
