SAN FRANCISCO, November 18, (THEWILL) – Chaos broke out on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway after motorcycle riders chased personnel of the Lagos State Task Force.
An eyewitness said the okada riders, at about 7 am took to the road to protest the arrest of their motorcycles by men of the Lagos Taskforce on Environment and Special Offences Unit in what they called “clampdown” on activities.
In viral video, scores of riders are seen chasing the security operatives while spitting out a stream of expletives as some task force officers retreated to their operational vehicles which zoomed off immediately.
It is the second day of the fight between the riders and the government officers.
On Tuesday, the task force officers seized over 70 motorcycles around Second Rainbow, FESTAC Town over infraction of traffic laws, which resulted in a clash between them and the okada riders.
