The new Lagos State Police Commissioner, Kayode Aderanti has issued a 14-day ultimatum to commercial motorcycle operators, also known as okada riders, to stop plying restricted roads or risk incurring the wrath of the law.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday, 24 September, 2014, by the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide, the commissioner warned that any okada rider that flouts the 2012 State Traffic Law by plying restricted routes would be arrested and prosecuted after the expiration of the new ultimatum.“The Lagos State Police Command has observed with total dismay that some okada riders do not have any iota of respect for the laws of the state as they have continuously and flagrantly breach this traffic law.
“The Commissioner hereby warns and reminds all okada riders in the state that the ban and restriction from plying certain routes is still in force.
Anyone caught flouting it will have himself to blame because the command is ready to take severe action against anyone violating this law,” Braide, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, said.
Osun state election don finish. The okada riders were allowed to go back to the road on the eve of osun state election to stem the tide of the people's perception that the Apc govs were anti people. Now they have got what they want and it is back to the trenches. They will be unbanned again in the new year shortly before the general elections.
