The Lagos State Task Force on Sunday said it had impounded 4,500 motorcycles from riders, who had defaulted the states traffic law.
“We are not relenting and we will continue to impound motorcycles that default as we come by them,” he said. “Earlier in the month, we intercepted no fewer than 44 people with their bikes in an articulated vehicle coming from the northern part of the country into Lagos.“However, there are so many illegal motorcyclists that had slipped our inspection and scrutiny into the metropolitan city through routes that are used to smuggle goods.
Adebayo said that the laws regarding motorcycle riding in the state were not punitive in nature but corrective in order to reduce the high incidence of accidents related to motorcycle riding.
