A sad incident occurred at Charity Bus Stop, along Oshodi Expressway in Lagos on Thursday January 16 as a commercial motorcyclist and his passenger were allegedly knocked down by officials of the Lagos State Task Force around 9:45AM.
The female passenger who sustained more injuries was reportedly rushed to the hospital by well meaning Nigerians.
An eyewitness, Shola who sent in photos disclosed that upon getting to the office of the task force which is located at Bolade Oshodi, one Corporal Ileriu Abubakar said they have a mandate from the Lagos State Government to stop any OKada Rider on the highway by any means necessary.
When he asked if the order means killing Okada riders who break such rules, Shola said the police officer threatened to detain him or even seize his phone.
He wrote;
