Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has called on the Lagos State government to ban the operations of commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as Okada, Road beggars, and wheelbarrow pushers to fend off terrorism in the state.
“This is a very secure environment at large for Lagos State Government. Ban Okada. Lagos State should ban Okada Riders.
“In all spheres of Lagos State, let them ban Okada Riders. If we don’t ban Okada Riders, Okada Riders will injure Lagos State too. All these wheelbarrow pushers, ban them, ban beggars so that they will not attack Lagos. If they attack Lagos, Nigeria will go into disarray,” he said.
