The Lagos State Taskforce on Environment and Special Offences Enforcement Unit says it has seized 497 more commercial motorcycles for allegedly contravening traffic laws in the state.<\/p>\n

The Agency\u2019s spokesperson, Mr Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday in Lagos.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that more than 900 motorcycles were impounded for allegedly playing restricted roads in different parts of the state in January.<\/p>\n

Abdulraheem said the latest operations covered areas such as Doyin Bus Stop, on Orile\/Iganmu Road, Alakija, Iyana Iba, Igbo-Elerin, Festac Link Bridge and Igando.<\/p>\n

He also said that the agency was decisive in its operation to ensure public safety and uphold the laid down traffic rules and regulations on the state\u2019s highways.<\/p>\n

According to him, activities of commercial motorcyclists, especially along Lagos-Badagry Expressway, are reckless due to the nonchalant attitude of the riders on the axis.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkada operators here are the cause of major accidents and a big threat to the security architecture of the state along this route, especially the ones you see facing oncoming vehicles directly on one-way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is complete madness and I recommend anyone caught in the act to be subjected to psychiatric evaluation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Abdulraheem further stated that the agency achieved a remarkable record of seizures during the operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis signals a clear message to motorcyclists that enforcement measures will be rigorously implemented in all nooks and crannies of the state,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

He reiterated the importance of compliance with traffic regulations and warned riders to desist from operating on restricted routes immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cFailure to adhere to these regulations will result in the impoundment of motorcycles and possible jail term,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
