Ekiti State Police Commissioner, Asuquo Amba, on Thursday, raised the alarm over the influx of operators of commercial bikes popularly known as Okada in the state.
Amba suspected the purported Okada operators to be criminals who could unleash unwholesome acts and intentions on the state in view of their capability to “cause criminal act ranging from stealing, armed robbery, and kidnapping in no distant time”.
Abutu stated, “CP Asuquo has directed that all motorcycles across the state must be properly registered with the relevant authorities and relevant document of ownership/registration.”
