Residents in Lagos on Saturday, February 1st, 2020, woke up to the blatant reality of a new dawn in traffic order as the metropolis was lacking of usual activities of “Okada” and “Keke NAPEP, “ in compliance with the state government ban on their operations.
TheNewsGuru reports that in some parts of the state since the implementation was effected, some of the riders have complied while partial compliance was observed in other areas.
Expectedly, on the following Monday, first day of the working week the operators carried out their threat to resist the enforcement as they took to some major roads like Apapa, Oyingbo, Ikeja in violent protest against the taskforce and other enforcement agents.
TheNewsGuru observed in areas like Apapa Oshodi expressway, Apapa, Mile 2, Agboju, still have the okada operating, though not in their large numbers. They however come out in their droves at night.
Check out some of the pictures below:
As seen in the photos below are recent activities of the Okada riders in the state.
