Barely 24 hours after the ban on activities of commercial motorcyclists, popularly called Okada, came into force in six local government areas of Lagos State, the Okada operators returned to some major roads in the state, yesterday.

Recall that following public outcry, Governor Bababjide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State had banned Okada activities in Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Ikeja, Apapa, Eti-Osa and Surulere and nine LCDAs attached to the LGAs. text of your post here...

Recall also that Okada union, under the umbrella of Motorcycle Transport Union of Nigeria, MTUN, and others, had sued Lagos State Government before a Federal High Court in Lagos, asking the court to declare that the ban of Okada operations in the six local governments “is illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional.”Meanwhile, the enforcement, which recorded high level of compliance on the first day, Wednesday, Juni 1, seemed to have been relaxed, yesterday, as Okada riders returned to some roads in the metropolis, undisturbed by security agents.
