The full enforcement on the ban on commercial motorcycles (Okada) and Tricycle (Keke) on all highways, bridges and listed roads begins on February 1, 2020.
This is according to a statement released by the Lagos State Government.
According to the statement signed by Mr Gbenga Omotoso, the Honourable Commissioner, Information & Strategy, the decision was taken after wide consultation by the Lagos State government with stakeholders, the State Security Council, in compliance with the extant Transport Sector Reform Law 2018.
The security and safety of the lives of Lagosians are paramount
Omotosho stated that, “The figures are scary. From 2016 to 2019, there were over 10,000 accidents recorded at the General Hospitals alone. This number excludes unreported cases and those recorded by other hospitals. The total number of deaths from reported cases is over 600 as at date” Omotosho stated.
According to the statement, “The rate of crimes aided by Motorcycles (Okada) and Tricycles (Keke) keeps rising. Motorcycles (Okada) and Tricycles (Keke) are also used as getaway means by criminals.”
“Law enforcement agents have been directed that with effect from February 1, 2020, there will be Zero Tolerance for Motorcycles (Okada) and Tricycles (Keke) in (on) the listed Local Governments, highways and bridges. Members of the public are hereby notified that all offenders and violators will be dealt with in accordance with the Law” stated the Commissioner for Information And Strategy.

“The full enforcement on the ban on Keke and Okada begins on February 1, 2020.
