To enforce the ban on activities of commercial motorcycles in Lagos State, the government has said it will crush about 250 power and despatch motorcycles recently seized by the task force.

Chairman of the State Environmental Task Force and Special Offences, Chief Superintendent of Police , Shola Jejeloye, said the power bikes and despatch motorcycles, whose capacity are above the required standard were confiscated for either driving against traffic , conveying of passengers on despatch bikes and riding on the Bus Rapid Transit corridor of the state.

“Riding a power bike doesn’t make you immune to traffic laws of the state, especially when it has to do with riding against traffic on one-way, which is highly dangerous to road users and even pedestrians. Any motorbikes violating the state traffic laws will be met with the same level of punishment as Okada of lower capacity,” Jejeloye stated.

“We have mad series of arrests of despatch motorcycles, whose riders either carry passengers even with the delivery box still mounted on the bike or sometimes disassemble the box and convey the passengers with the bikes.

Is there really no better way to dispose of these bikes so as to keep them useful to some needy persons?

Guardian has joined propaganda, where are power bikes here? Ordinary motorcycles are what you're calling power bikes. Fake news!

Are they crushing them to recycle or crushing to show how mean the govt could be to her citizens.
