Robbers Disguised as Passengers Steal Motorcycles and Kill Okada Riders in Osun State
The Osun Police Command has warned commercial motorcyclists to be cautious of criminals posing as passengers to steal their motorcycles. Yemisi Opalola, the command’s spokesperson explains the warning was needed due to the increase of motorcycle cases and to ensure the safety of the state and citizens.
“The police command is using this medium to caution motorcyclists, especially the commercial ones (Okada), to be cautious of passenger(s) they carry or who employ their services.
The modus operandi of the criminals involves hailing commercial motorcyclists and luring them to isolated areas late at night where they are forcefully dispossessed of their motorbikes.
”The unsuspecting riders are often offered enticing fares that they cannot refuse.
“These attacks in some cases have left the motorcyclists severely injured or even killed.” she said.
Opalola said that CP Mohammed Abba has enjoined the leadership of the Okada Riders Association in the state to continually sensitise its members to avoid being victims of this trending crime.
“The command also advises them to report any suspicious passenger(s) and their activities to the nearest police station.” she added.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
