The Lagos State Government has said that commercial motorcycles seized for flouting the ban in six local government areas of the state will be crushed before the media on Friday.<\/p>\n

Lagos Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said this in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of Lekki Phase 1 Residents\u2019 Association, Yomi Idowu, had accused the state government of seizing 500 commercial motorcycles aka Okada from errant riders and returning 1,000 bikes to the offenders.<\/p>\n

Idowu had also challenged the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu<\/a> administration to show video of crushed Okada.<\/p>\n

In a veiled response on Wednesday, the government, in its statement, said, \u201cLaw enforcement agencies seized many motorcycles today. They will all be crushed on Friday in the presence of the media.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement was titled, \u2018Lagos Steps Up Action On Alternatives As Okada Ban Takes Off\u2019.<\/p>\n

It partly read, \u201cThe Lagos State Government wishes to put on record the remarkable cooperation of Lagosians on the commercial motorcycles ban, which took effect today in six local governments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe compliance was significant in Surulere, Apapa, Eti-Osa, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland and Ikeja.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the first phase of the ban, which was announced on May 18 by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, following security and safety concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Sanwo-Olu assures Lagos residents and visitors that his Administration will not leave them to their own devices; it \u2018will continue to work towards the achievement of an efficient intermodal transportation system (water, rail and road) that will be the pride of all\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cLagos residents stayed off the motorcycles, also known as Okada, as the government rolled out alternatives to cushion likely effects of the ban in many areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany small buses, under the First Mile and Last Mile Scheme, were rolled out extensively in Surulere, Gbagada, Lekki, Lagos Island and other parts of Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of taxi cabs under the LAGRIDE scheme were deployed in Lagos Island, Ikeja, Surulere, Lekki and other places.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe waterways were also busy as Lagos Ferry Services put more ferries on their routes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
