The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has directed the suspension of commercial motorcycles, popularly known as okada in all areas of the state till further notice.

Sanwo-Olu, at a briefing on Wednesday, said the suspension was to check the spread of COVID-19 in the state.

The governor also said the state had covered over 1.5 million households in its house-to-house active case search.

He said, “Commercial motorcycles, popularly known as okadas, are to suspend their operations statewide, except for those motorcycles used for courier and logistics purposes.

“Tricycles (kekes) operating in unrestricted areas, must not carry more than two passengers per trip and must ensure appropriate social distancing is maintained between passengers.”
