Seven ‘Okada’ riders for trial for attacking, injuring Lagos Task Force officials

Unit for attacking its officers while on enforcement duties against motorcycles plying restricted routes around Oworonsoki, Adeniji Adele junction, Obalende, Falomo, Lekki Phase and Ikoyi link-bridge area will be arraigned in court on Monday for prosecution by the state government.

Chairman of the task force, Mr. Olayinka Egbeyemi, a Chief Superintendent of Police, disclosed that four officers of the Agency were seriously injured with stones, bottles and iron-rods around Lekki Phase . Egbeyemi who enjoined other relevant stakeholders to support the Agency in curbing the ‘Okada’ menace said it was a rude shock seeing motorcycle operators now shuttling and struggling right of ways with motorists on Ikoyi link-bridge, Falomo, Lekki Phase 1, Adeniji Adele including Obalende.

“The government would no longer tolerate the slightest attack on officers and men of the Agency, as just recently a police officer with the Agency died as a result of serious injuries he sustained from miscreants and hoodlums while on enforcement duty around Mile 12 area”
