Akerele said that the motorcycles were impounded in Sabo Ikorodu, Berger, and Ikotun while enforcing the ban on the operations of commercial motorcycles in restricted areas of the state.

Akerele reiterated the task force’s unwavering stance on illegal commercial motorcycle operations, stressing that riders and passengers caught violating the ban would be prosecuted.

“Passengers on okada are as guilty as the riders. If caught, they will face the full weight of the law alongside the riders.
