Ogun State government on Monday said the state would absorb the shock that its proximity to Lagos would bring with the influx of commercial motorcycle (Okada) operators to Ogun border towns with Lagos.
Speaking to reporters in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, through the state’s Transport Committee Chairman, Femi Adeniyi, the government added that as a “responsible and responsive government,” it has observed that Okada riders have started pouring into Akute, Alagbole, Ajunwon, Sagamu, Ijebu – Ode, Ifo, Ibafo and Mowe areas of the state following the ban on their operations in some designated areas of Lagos State.
He stressed that should the “agents of darkness” among the genuine Okada operators dare try to practice what caused their eviction from Lagos, a similar fate would befall such person or individuals.
