The Lagos State Government has placed a total ban on motorcyclists, popularly known as 'Okada riders' in six local government areas in the state.
The prohibition was announced by the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Wednesday while speaking with all Divisional Police Officers and Area Commanders across the State today at the Lagos House, Ikeja.Mr Sanwo-Olu stated that the ban, which he described as “total”, is to stop motorcyclists' operation in the whole of Ikeja, Surulere, Eti Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island and Apapa local government areas of the state.
"This order will be effective from the 1st of June. This is a phase banning we are going to be embarking on so that others know that they either get out or find something else to do," he noted. The motorcyclist was said to have conveyed the duo to the destination when an argument bordering on N100 ensued between the motorcyclist and David’s friends.
The argument was said to have degenerated into a fight, as the motorcyclist sought the support of other motorcyclists, who intervened in the matter.
Apapa ban no go work bcos we can't drive to Apapa Tin Can with car.

He should ban them in all of Lagos, I am afraid those guys are too much in this city. They are capable of destroying Lagos if any kasala should burst.

Why ASUU strike can not be called off - Account General stole N80bn while ex-NDDC boss stole N47bn under Buhari watch. In Nigeria, abnormalities have now become normal, when our elders are stealing billion, what example are they showing to the youth. Follow AGreatNigeria3
Banning them is a very good development, they curse accident more the vehicles and they have bad character
Instead of banning them, why not regulate their activities and operation. I agree there are ills been perpetrated through this okada riders, however this does not in anyway override their commercial importance. If u are stuck in traffic with an appointment to catch u might relate
They should ban it totally in all lagos state so that those fulani foot terrorist soldiers will go back into Forest and leave the city.
Good news. It should be banned in the whole of Nigeria. The Islamization agenda of the barbaric Fulanis should be contained at all cost. Nigeria is not a Muslim Country which Buhari's radicalist and tribalistic govt wants it to become.
They are not motorcycle ridders but terrorists.They were imported and positioned for a purpose.The last couple of days in sokoto,Kanu and Abuja has witnessed the preamble of the agenda.Biafra/Odua and middle belt must exit Nigeria. It’s the only road to their survival.
Only till elections
I hope he has plans for them o! Because he is about to unleash criminals into Lagos

Innocent okada riders too go join suffer
We need same here in Abuja. There should be total ban of motorcycles in all the Area councils of the FCT. They are a total menace to public safety.
This APC government in Lagos state taking food out of the mouth of many families in Lagos, and Tinubu is running about the country seeking to be President.
It should also extend to Abuja! We don't need them here
This will cause more hardship.
