Human rights lawyer and National President of Revolutionary Lawyer's Forum, Mr Tope Akinyode, has dragged the Lagos State governor, Speaker of the House of Assembly and Attorney-General of Lagos to court over the ban of commercial tricycles and motorcycles popular referred to as Keke and Okada.

Challenging the ban in court, Akinyode said the provisions of the law and its execution are a violation of the citizen's fundamental human right to freedom of movement and to own moveable properties as enshrined under Sections 41 and 44 of the constitution.
