During the course of the okada operations, the Lagos State Taskforce after a month of launching the Red Line Railway project by State Government cleared out shanties that have sprung up along Fagba Rail track and confiscated bikes that troop out from inner streets to operate along the tracks. 


CSP Shola Jejeloye stated the criminality and hooliganism which is prevalent in these areas are enabled mainly by okada operators and squatters who turn to crime and rob innocent residents and train commuters. He disclosed that the confiscation of motorcycles would go a long way in reducing crime and incidents of bag snatching which most perpetrators make use of okada as a get away means. 


The Chairman hinted that the fight against the menace of okada is on-going in every nook and cranny of the State and no stone will be left unturned till that fight is won.
