Lagos motorcyclists dare Fashola on restricted routes

The restriction order placed on the operation of commercial motorcyclists on certain roads in the Lagos metropolis by the Lagos State Government is now being flouted by some motorcyclists and security agents.

According to reports, the motorcyclists were now in the habit of plying some of the restricted roads with ease. They are now said to be plying parts of Costain, Funsho Williams Avenue, Ojuelegba, Mobil Road, Apapa and the Ikorodu Road without any fear of being arrested
.The law enforcement agents, in particular, were found to be the major offenders on these restricted routes, as they were always on the roads, without even wearing the usual crash helmets.

An Army Sergeant, who did not want his name mentioned, said that the motorcycle was the only source of transportation for him to be able to get to his office on time.
