The Lagos State Taskforce has intensified its enforcement efforts against recalcitrant commercial motorcycle (okada) operators as part of its ongoing measures to rid the State of the menace posed by illegal okada operations and associated criminal activities.

The operations covered several strategic locations on the stretch of Lagos-Mile2-Badagry Expressway in the State, including Festac-Firstgate ,Mazamaza and Iyana-Iba.
During the exercise, some commercial motorcycle operators were found plying restricted routes, obstructing traffic flow, some of the operators were using okada to transport illicit drugs , inflamable substances like PMS to neighbouring country and generally constituting a nuisance on major highways and adjoining roads.
At the conclusion of the operations, a total of 70 commercial motorcycles were impounded, and sanity was restored across all affected areas.
The Taskforce reiterated that all confiscated motorcycles will be forfeited to the State through the courts in accordance with the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018.
