The Government of Lagos state as we know now is not a weakling when
it comes to enforcing the laws of the state on those who breaks it...
according to the reports below, over 3,000 okada where destroyed beyong
recognition.
The Lagos State Government has commenced the process of crushing 3, 000 motorcycles, popularly called okada, impounded from their owners for violating traffic law.
Officials of the state Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit on Tuesday dismantled the okadas at the task force yard in Alausa.
The Taskforce
Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, an Assistant Superintent of Police, said after
the end of the dismantling exercise, the iron parts would be taken to
the state Crushing Plant in Oshodi, where they would be crushed and
recycled.
He said the action was
to show that the government had stepped up its enforcement of the state
traffic law, adding that the crushing of the okadas would serve as deterrent to other commercial motorcycle operators.
Sulaiman said, “These are okadas impounded since the new traffic law was signed into law. There are 3, 000 of them. Okada
riders must obey our traffic law. They are fond of driving against
traffic, on kerbs and several unauthorised places. The law has been
passed and gazetted and there is no going back on its enforcement....
