Many Lagos residents have commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for arresting some commercial motorcyclists, popularly called Okada riders, including a soldier, for driving against traffic on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
The Governor arrested the suspects while returning from Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, where he opened a project sponsored by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Sanwo-Olu, on sighting the traffic offenders, stopped his convoy and went after the riders. While some of the riders ran and left their motorcycles and passengers, some were arrested by the governor’s team.

One of the riders got the governor very furious when he identified himself as a soldier, just as he scolded a female passenger for patronising Okada, who drove against traffic.
Callers on our political programme, All Out Politics, praised the governor for the action but called for strict enforcement of the Okada ban in the state.
