[TOP STORY] Most 'okada' riders are criminals... passengers will be prosecuted in mobile courts, says Lagos CP | TheCable

Author:commissioner of police, says violators of the recent ‘okada ban’ will be prosecuted in mobile courtsThe CP, who spoke on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Thursday, said plans have been made for the creation of mobile courts to prosecute violators of the directive, including passengers.Alabi said the police have come up with “strategies and tactics” to enforce the directive.“There is a plan for a kind of mobile court, where offenders can be tried.

Speaking on the implication of the ban on crime rate, Alabi conceded that it may cause a spike in criminality, but he said the police are prepared to tackle any security challenge.“We are anticipating a spike in crime. We know that banning Okada will increase the crime rate in the state, and we are not unmindful of that. We are already putting in place strategies to contend with them. We are prepared for that,” he said.

“Most of the Okada riders are criminals. We have arrested a lot of them with locally-made pistols in the course of their operations. And most of them have been charged to court. Alabi said couriers, owners of power bikes and private citizens who own motorcycles are exempted from the ban.

Better 👍🏼, unless the passenger know they too can be persecuted, only then they will stop patronizing this Okada riders.

Man, Lagos should move to emulate the transportation system in London. Buses and train tracks should surround and go through the city. That should be the drive of every governor of Lagos going forward

Is this not the 'pointing governor' of the year?

😂 what will the judge ask the passenger? 'Are u a criminal?' Lagos CP is daft! Na we say make lagos roads dey full with hold up? Na we say make lagos get bad roads? Na we say make Nigerian Government day embezzle money meant to provide a better system for Nigerians to enjoy

The Rich Seldomly Steal, but billions entrusted in their care are often missing. Chai 🇳🇬
