Lagos
State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) was on Tuesday challenged
those supporting the unregulated operation of commercial motorcyclist to
take a trip to the various hospitals and medical emergency centres to
see the havoc wreaked by their activities.
Governor Fashola who spoke on the topic “Freedom from Fear” in
relation to Law and Order in Lagos State said they should visit the
hospitals and emergency wards and see those who have lost limbs, arms,
those who have lost children or those who have become orphans by the
recklessness of the okada riders.
Noting that a lot depended on the citizenry in ensuring an orderly
society, the Governor said everyone must build a consensus that the idea
behind the new traffic law was to ensure the protection of life and
assets of every resident of Lagos and their businesses.
