Motorcycles that had been impounded at various times and locations across the state for violating various traffic laws were crushed in large numbers today at the Alausa Secretariat in Ikeja.
482 motorcycles impounded from traffic violators are crushed by the Lagos State Police Command.
The Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, stated at the site where 482 impounded motorcycles were crushed that the crushing exercise has been ongoing since the enforcement began, but that the exercise carried out publicly today, November 20, was to persuade members of the public that the impounded motorcycles are actually being crushed, contrary to mischief makers’ claims that the motorcycles are being sold and recycled.
Errant motorcycle operators operating in restricted areas, as well as those violating other traffic laws or using motorcycles for criminal activities in the state, have been warned to change their minds or face legal consequences, according to the Commissioner of Police.
