According to the secretary of Kwara state transport sanitization committee, Mr Temi Kolawole, Kwara being the most peaceful state in Nigeria, has many respectable and peace loving okada operators who have been major stakeholders in the transport sector but the recent pronouncement of bans in some states has led to the infiltration of our okada operators by aliens who may cause security breaches in the state, the chairman said.
Iliasu noted that many suspected criminals have been found to often use motorcycles to carry out their dastardly acts.
He added that the government is always working with the state Police command and other security agencies in the state to protect lives and properties of the people of the state.
