AS part of efforts to ensure strict compliance with the ban on commercial motorcycle operations in Lagos State, security agencies, including the police, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), on Tuesday embarked on a roadshow across the state to express their readiness to enforce the law.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations in the state, DCP Ahmad Kontagora, told newsmen that Tuesday’s show of force was to send a warning signal to commercial motorcyclists ahead of the commencement of the enforcement today.
Agencies including the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corp, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and others also participated in the exercise.
The security operatives took off from the state police headquarters in Ikeja in a convoy of patrol vehicles and moved through Maryland, Surulere, Otire-Ikate, Orile Iganmu and to parts of Lekki.
Kontagora said: “The show of force is a combined operation with other security agencies which include Navy, Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC), Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Neighbourhood Watch and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and it is to send a warning to them (okada operators) to steer clear of the state’s roads from June 1.”
