Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has banned the operations of commercial motorcycles popularly called Okada in six Local Governments.
The Governor announced the ban is “indefinite and total” during a meeting with Police Chiefs in Lagos.
This is coming few days after some Okada riders allegedly stabbed and burnt a sound engineer, David Imoh over N100 last Thursday on Admiralty way in Lekki, Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu asked the Lagos Police Command and other security agencies to enforce the ban.
The six local governments listed by the Governor are: Ikeja, Surulere, Eti-Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island and Apapa.
