In a decisive move to enforce the ban on commercial motorcycles, known locally as Okadas, the Lagos State Task Force has impounded 139 motorcycles operating illegally in restricted areas. This operation underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring safety and order on the state’s roads.


The enforcement targeted areas where Okada operations have been prohibited due to safety concerns and traffic regulations. Officials emphasized that both riders and passengers found violating the ban would face legal consequences, including prosecution and potential forfeiture of the seized motorcycles.


The Lagos State Government has reiterated its stance on the Okada ban, citing the high rate of accidents and security issues associated with their operations. Residents are urged to comply with the regulations and utilize alternative modes of transportation provided by the state.


This recent crackdown is part of a broader strategy to enforce the Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018, aiming to enhance road safety and reduce traffic congestion. The Task Force has assured the public of continuous monitoring and enforcement to maintain order and protect lives.
