Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has effected the arrest of an alleged Army officer who is an okada rider caught plying one-way along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
A video shared on social media by the governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Media, Wale Ajetunmobi on Tuesday, captured when the Sanwo-Olu halted his convoy and pursued the riders violating traffic rules.
On noticing the governor’s presence, the Okada riders hastily dispersed, abandoning their motorcycles and passengers to evade arrest. However, Sanwo-Olu’s team managed to apprehend five of the riders.
One of the offenders, a lance corporal in the Army who was arrested with his bike was seen telling Sanwo-Olu that he is an Army officer.
“Can you imagine this one telling me that he is an Army officer? Well, that is the more reason you will be locked up,” the Governor replied.
