The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) under the Lagos Police Command has intensified its crackdown on motorcycles flouting regulations by impounding 85 motorcycles.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the command’s spokesperson, verified the operation through a post on his Twitter handle, @benHundeyin, on Friday.
He disclosed that the joint effort between RRS and the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) led to the seizure of the motorcycles across various locations in the state on Thursday.
“RRS supported by their counterparts from the LAMATA Enforcement Team carried out the operation yesterday.
“The areas visited by the team include Ojodu Berger, Aguda (Ikeja), Iju Road, Agege, Iyana Ipaja Bridge, Abule Egba, and Ogba.
“The operation was led by RRS commander, CSP. Olayinka Egbeyemi.
“In a similar operation two weeks ago, the team led by Egbeyemi impounded 257 motorcycles,” he said.
According to him, the Lagos Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, said the command would continue to deal with individuals who flout traffic laws.
“Fayoade has assured that the exercise will be sustained until there is compliance with Lagos State.
“He said that the command will not fold its arms and allow recalcitrant individuals to flout state’s traffic law without consequences,” he said.
