Motorcycle riders, popularly called Okada and Lagos State Task Force were reported to have been involved in a face-off at the Idi Araba area of Lagos today.
Lagos banned motorcycle operations in some locations since June 1, 2022.

The task force has seized thousands of bikes which have been crushed publicly.
Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin denied reports that the riders fought security personnel.
“The Taskforce went well prepared. They (riders) were just causing a scene after Taskforce left with some of their impounded motorcycles.”
Hundeyin said the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and men from the Area Command have been drafted to the scene.
The spokesman added that there’s “absolutely nothing to worry about”.
