Okada ban: Police clash with riders, seize 200 bikes as Lagos vows more raids

There was pandemonium on Thursday as policemen and motorcycle riders clashed in the Iyana Iba, Alaba, Agric, Barracks ends of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the clash started after men of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Task Force) and the Rapid Response Squad visited the areas to enforce the state traffic law.

The operatives were said to have seized motorcycles along the expressway and also issued a notice to occupants at the Alaba Rago Market to vacate the premises.

Our correspondents learnt that some of the motorcyclists resisted the seizure of their motorcycles, which led to a face-off between them and the security agents.
