The Lagos State Taskforce has recommended psychiatric evaluation for commercial motorcycle operators also known as okada riders and seized 497 motorcycles along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

This is according to a statement from the Director, Press & Public Affairs of the Lagos State Taskforce, GBADEYAN ABDULRAHEEM. 

He said in a decisive move to ensure public safety and uphold the laid down traffic rules and regulations on the State’s highways, bridges, and other restricted routes, the Lagos State Taskforce has intensified its operations along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

The recent operations led by the Chairman of the Agency, SHOLA JEJELOYE, also covered areas such as Doyin Bus Stop, Alakija, Iyana Iba, Igbo-Elerin, Festac Link Bridge, and Igando to stamp the commitment of the Lagos State Taskforce to enforce traffic regulations and maintain order and sanity on Lagos Roads.

The statement reiterated that these efforts are part of a broader initiative to enhance safety for all road users and eliminate the risks associated with okada operations on restricted routes in Lagos highways.
