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.

Full enforcement begins on February 1, 2020

“The full enforcement on the ban on Keke and Okada begins on February 1, 2020. This is the first stage of the State Government’s plan to sanitize our roads and protect Lagosians from the negative effects of these illegal modes of transportation. The Law is very clear.  Motorcycles (Okada) and Tricycles (Keke) are banned on all highways, bridges and the listed roads”.
