The new Lagos State Police Commissioner, Kayode Aderanti has
issued a 14-day ultimatum to commercial motorcycle operators, also known as
okada riders, to stop plying restricted roads or risk incurring the wrath of
the law.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday, 24 September,
2014, by the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide,
the commissioner warned that any okada rider that flouts the 2012 State Traffic
Law by plying restricted routes would be arrested and prosecuted after the
expiration of the new ultimatum.
The statement reads…
“The Commissioner hereby warns and reminds all okada riders
in the state that the ban and restriction from plying certain routes is still
in force.
Anyone caught flouting it will have himself to blame because
the command is ready to take severe action against anyone violating this law,” Braide,
a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, said.
