The Lagos State Government has inaugurated a squad of 600 officials to enforce the ban on commercial motorcycles also known as okada in 6 local government areas.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. FREDRICK OLADEINDE, said that the aim for setting up of the squad was to ensure effective enforcement of the order which starts off today, June 1.
