Browsing: Ban of commercial motorcycles

An eyewitness stated that the policemen were chasing the okada rider in attempt to seize his motorcycle but the bike man refused to stop. Seeing that the okada rider was escaping arrest, one of the policemen chasing him allegedly opened fire and shot him in the chest

While a policeman attached to Alakuko Police Station shot and killed an okada rider, policemen around the Ogba/Pen Cinema axis, in a patrol vehicle, rammed another into a gutter, injuring him seriously

It was gathered that the okada riders in their hundreds are revolting at Isolo, Mushin and some sections of Ikorodu Road as at press time

The renewed clampdown by the police is in line with the enforcement of the new traffic law in the state banning the commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as okada, from some roads
