The Lagos State Police Command has warned that both motorcyclists and passengers who defy the new ban on Okada operations in the State will be arrested and prosecuted.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had announced the ban in six local government areas including Apapa, Eti-Osa, Ikeja, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland and Surulere.
Sanwo-Olu said with effect from June 1, security operatives should enforce the proscription order across the listed councils.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a tweet on Saturday, warned motorcyclists and passengers.
He said: “Under the new total ban of motorcycles in six local government areas of Lagos State, passengers and riders alike will be arrested and prosecuted.
“The passenger is an accomplice. Ignorance will not be an excuse!”
