Dare Ogundare, the Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State, has resolved the crisis among okada riders in the state.
The CP met with the warring parties soon after the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Adeyemo Adejugbe, met with the Okada riders’ leadership.
Some commercial motorcyclists in Ado-Ekiti have protested their leaders’ alleged abuse of authority.
After listening to the disagreements between the association led by the State Chairman, Comrade Kunle Ashaolu, and the representatives of the protesting members, the commissioner of police charged both parties to give peace a chance and ensure that the state’s current peaceful atmosphere is maintained.
The commissioner of police implored them to cultivate the habit of channeling their complaints appropriately and in accordance with the laid down rules and regulations rather than taking laws in their hands.
In their separate remarks, both parties pledged to maintain peace and order.
Meanwhile, those arrested with dangerous weapons would be charged to court accordingly.
