The Lagos State government carried out the crushing of 1500 seized motorcycles on Monday, November 27. The crushing of the motorcycles was inspected by the Commissioner of Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, and the Permanent Secretary to the ministry, Wale Musa, at the premises of the Lagos State Taskforce.
The government, in a post on its official handle, shared photos of the event and mentioned, “Commissioner for #lagosMOT1, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi with the Permanent Secretary, Mr Wale Musa, at the crushing of 1500 seized commercial motorcycles at the Lagos State Taskforce premises on Monday, 27th of November 2023.”
In 2022, the state government had prohibited the use of motorcycles in certain areas and has since confiscated numerous motorcycles from riders who violated the ban. This action is part of the government’s efforts to enforce the ban and maintain public safety.
