Lagos State authorities have impounded 278 commercial motorcycles, known as “Okada,” due to traffic and security concerns. The enforcement operation was carried out by the Lagos State Taskforce, led by CSP Adetayo Akerele, following a government directive restricting Okada operations. Authorities allege the motorcycles were involved in criminal activities and frequent traffic violations throughout the city. The crackdown aims to address growing safety and order issues linked to Okada transportation. This action represents a continued effort by the state government to regulate and potentially eliminate Okada from major roadways. Further details regarding specific locations of the impoundments and the fate of the seized vehicles were not immediately available. The taskforce continues to enforce the ban across the metropolis.
