Lagos Destroys 6,000 Seized Motorbikes


The Lagos State government has commenced the implementation of the traffic law recently enacted into law by the state’s House of Assembly.

The State government yesterday commenced the process of crushing about 6,000 motorcycles famously known as Okada impounded from their owners for violating traffic laws.


Officials of the state Task Force on Environmental and Special Offences on Tuesday dismantle the Okadas at the task force office in Alausa.  Bayo Suileman, an Assistant Superitent  of Police said that after the end of the dismantling exercise, the iron parts would be taken to the state Crushing Plant in Oshodi, where they would be crushed and recycled

According to him, the action was to show that the government had stepped up its enforcement of the state traffic law, adding that the crushing of the Okadas would serve as deterrent to other commercial motorcycle operators.
