The Lagos State Government has inaugurated an Anti-Okada Squad to join the police in enforcing the ban of motorcycles in six Local Government Areas, highways, major roads, and bridges.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, said in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos that the ban was in line with the Transport Sector Reform Law 2, 2018.
Oladeinde said the government was set to reinforce the ban on commercial motorcycles in the six LGAs and nine Local Council Development Areas.
“Such reports will help the government generate feedback on strategies for the protection of lives and property.
“Individuals arrested ( riders and passengers) will be made to face the full wrath of the law in line with the provision of Section 46, sub-section 1, 2 & 3 of the Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018,” Oladeinde said.
The commissioner reiterated that motorcycles impounded would be crushed in the public glare.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation, Mr. Kamar Olowoshago, also urged the Anti-Okada personnel to be diligent and honest in the discharge of their duties.
Also at the inauguration was the Commissioner for Housing, Fatai Akinderu, who later presented the completion of training certificates to members of the squad.
