Twenty seven commercial motorcycle riders popularly known as okada riders who left Nigeria and took illegal routes to Ghana were on Friday, April 3, arrested and paraded by the Ghanaian policemen.
The okada riders were said to have decided to leave Lagos State following the ban on okada riding in the state and the current lockdown imposed by the Federal Government and Lagos State government.
According to Ghanaweb, a Ghanaian online news agency, the men were arrested at the border town of Ketu South after they had entered the country through the illegal routes.
