Lagos Taskforce Warns Against Okadas
The Lagos State Taskforce has warned residents against using motorcycles, known as ‘Okadas,’ due to safety and security risks. The agency highlighted that Okadas are often used by criminals for quick getaways. This warning follows a six-hour operation targeting illegal Okada activities in several Lagos areas, conducted under the Lagos State Commissioner of Police’s directive.
CSP Adetayo Akerele, Chairman of the Taskforce, stated that the crackdown will continue without exceptions, even for those disguising their bikes as military vehicles. He reinforced the enforcement of the 2018 Road Transport Sector Reform Laws, which prohibit Okadas on highways, and urged the public to avoid them due to the associated dangers.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
