The Arewa community in Lagos has backed the state government’s ban on commercial motorcycles, asking security agencies to impose stricter border checks as a way of curbing the influx of foreigners.
In a communique issued by the association at the end of its Extra-Ordinary General Meeting held in Lagos yesterday, it said the move, which was taken last week, was not new.
While condemning the activities of criminals posing as Okada riders, the Arewa community claimed that most of them are foreigners from Niger Republic, Chad, Cameroon, and other neighbouring nations.
