Motorcycle (Okada) riders and Lagos State Task Force are
reportedly involved in a clash at the Idi Araba area of Lagos.
The Lagos government banned motorcycle operations in some
locations since June 1, 2022.
The affected Local Government Areas are Apapa, Eti Osa,
Ikeja, Lagos Island, Surulere and Lagos Mainland.
The authorities already seized thousands of bikes which are
now routinely crushed publicly.
Reacting to today’s face-off, Lagos Police Command has
assured residents of safety.
Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin denied reports
that the riders fought security personnel.
“The Taskforce went well prepared. They (riders) were just
causing a scene after Taskforce left with some of their impounded motorcycles.”
Hundeyin said the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and men from
the Area Command have been drafted to the scene.
The spokesman added that there’s “absolutely nothing to
worry about”.
