Lagos task force impounds 58 motorcycles for violating restriction order

A Lagos State task force has impounded 58 motorcycles for violating restriction order.

This was contained in a statement on Friday by Mrs Bolanle Ogunlola, Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Lagos Ministry of Transportation.

โ€œThe task force, during compliance monitoring on the ban on commercial motorcycles (okada) across several restricted routes and zones in the metropolis, confiscated 58 motorcycles for violating restriction order.

โ€œThe enforcement exercise covered major highways, including Gbagada-Oshodi, Oshodi-Apapa, Mile 2-Badagry Expressway, and Apple Junction.

โ€œThe locations covered were subsequently decongested from traffic bottlenecks caused by recalcitrant motorcyclists, to enhance safety and security of commuters and pedestrians,โ€ she said.

She said that enforcement of the order remained a continuous exercise.
