Commuters are also having a torrid moment in the state due to the ban as there is no bike available for easy movement for them.

According to a close source, Police officials are having a field day as DPOs are making money off the ban of Okada despite the specification on the routes covered in the ban.

This has made every Okada in sight a target for ransom by rogue Police officers.

Lagos state government did not provide ONE BUS.
They just banned Okada and keke and said, yall go fuck yourselves.
In 2023, you people will go out like sheep and vote for them and say, “Jimi Agbaje is not talking”
Take your city back from these bastards

Keke and bikes are not part of the Greater Lagos but old, rickety, no seat belt having, no side mirror having, no break light having Danfo buses are part of the Greater Lagos 🤡 @jidesanwoolu. Laughable

People grumbling and vexing on the road of Lagos, queues with no hope of when buses are coming to pick them, people walking distance since there is no alternative to their routes.@jidesanwoolu and @followlasg are going the path of his predecessor and I hope they’re happy now. pic.twitter.com/XWXpkOexqd
