The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has banned the operations of commercial motorcycles in six Local Governments.
The governor announced that the ban is “indefinite and total”.
The six local governments listed by the governor are Ikeja, Surulere, Eti-Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island, and Apapa.
The Governor gave out the directive at a meeting with the Commissioner of Police, Area Commanders and DPOs at the State House in Alausa.
The fresh ban followed the February 2020 restriction placed on the activities of commercial motorcycles.
The ban comes days after Okada riders killed a young man in the Lekki area of Lagos State over N100 balance.
