"The operation underscores the Taskforce's determination to maintain sustained pressure on violators of the Okada restriction, environmental regulations, and security laws," the task force image maker stated.

According to him: "The enforcement exercise covered strategic locations including Ikorodu, Agric Bus Stop, Festac First Gate, Mazamaza, Iyana School, Iyana Iba, Idimu Road, Egbeda, Kola Bus Stop, Iyana Ipaja, Ikotun Roundabout, Ijaiye in Ojokoro, Berger Bus Stop, Ojodu, Akowonjo Roundabout, Igando Bus Stop, LASU Iba Road, and Pipeline Road, Idimu, among others.

"During the operation, several commercial motorcycle operators were apprehended while illegally plying highways and restricted routes with reckless disregard for public safety.

"Some were found using motorcycles to transport illicit substances and hazardous items such as petroleum products and gas, while others were seen conveying schoolchildren and toddlers in unsafe conditions on major roads."

The Task Force spokesperson revealed that: "At the conclusion of the weeklong operation, a total of 278 commercial motorcycles were impounded, restoring sanity and improving compliance across the affected areas."

The Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele, reaffirmed the agency's commitment to sustaining enforcement operations until full compliance is achieved.

Akerele said: "We will not be cowed or fold our arms and allow people of criminal intent to overrun Lagos or surrender to their illegalities."
