“Let us adopt the slogan of ‘when you see something, say something’,” he said.
He also lamented that the use of motorcycle as a means of transportation in the state saying that: “a combination of factors can be identified as being responsible for the advent of motorcycles as a means of intra-city transportation in Lagos State.
“Foremost amongst these, is the quest of the government to expand the land transportation system and provide employment opportunity to the citizens.
“This made the government to at the onset, grant approval for commercial motorcycle operations in the State with necessary legislation to regulate their activities.
“The government’s good intention of providing additional means of land transportation and creating jobs for the teeming unemployed youths, has been negated by the atrocities being perpetrated by the Okada operators in the State.
The event was attended by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, security chiefs and members of the public.
