By our reporter| Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reimposed the ban on Okada in some Local Governments of the State.
Sanwo-Olu, who gave the order while speaking with all DPOs and Area Commanders across the State at the Lagos House, Ikeja,
revealed that other security agencies will join in the enforcement, which will take effect from June 1, 2022.
The local government areas affected are the whole of Ikeja, Surulere, Eti-Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island, and Apapa.
A mob of okada riders had last week attacked and killed a sound engineer with Legacy360 Band, Sunday David Imoh, at the Admiralty Way, Lekki over an argument on N100 fare.
The mob also attacked and injured two other members of the band including a saxophonist, Francis Olatunji, and the keyboardist, Philip Balogun.
The action of the okada riders drew widespread condemnation and outrage with many calling on the government to enforce the existing law that banned Okada riding in the state.
