JUST IN: Clash Between Okada Riders And Lagos Task Force In Ikeja [VIDEO]—The Ikeja Along area of Lagos state this morning witnessed a clash between motorcycle riders and members of the Lagos task force.

This is coming a day after the Task Force seized more than 70 commercial motorcycles (okada) from riders in Second Rainbow and other areas of Amumo-Odofin LGA.

According to reports, a similar attempt was tried by the government officials but was rebuffed by riders.

A video footage sighted of the happening between the government officials and scores of riders showed the former running as they are chased by the latter uttering expletives.

The Task Force members can be seen jumping into their operational vehicles that zoomed off immediately to avoid being attacked by the irate riders.

The Genius Media recalls that in Amumo-Odofin LGA, the government officials had seized their bikes for various traffic violations, including riding on the highway.

Speaking on yesterday’s incident, Head, Public Affairs Unit of the Lagos State Task Force, Adebayo Taofiq said that its personnel visited the area for enforcement following “complaints from the public about activities of Okada riders using their bikes to rob them of their valuables and plying restricted routes”.
