After impounding about 74 Okada caught plying one-way and those operating on highway, Okada riders mobilised themselves and attacked officers of the Agency
They damaged beyond repair 2 of our vehicles with one of our truck.
A Paramilitary officer attached to the Agency (Ganiyu Mustspha) was wounded with broken bottles and Cutlass because he mistakenly ran into the mob.
Since the EndSARS protest every motorists including Okada riders operates with impunity thereby causing serious traffic gridlock across the State.
We had a stakeholders meeting with their Okada leaders and they made us to understand that all those flagrantly disobeying the laws are not responsible to any associations in Lagos.
We must all join hands together to salvage the State from the hands of these notorious criminals who uses Okada to perpetuate evil to the public.
