Commercial motorcycle cycle operators protesting against the restriction of their operations in Lagos on Monday
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the hundreds of protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as “Create Jobs, Don’t Take Jobs”, “Sanwo-Olu, My Job is My Life” and Maruwa Operators are not Criminals”. Also, a civil rights activist, Mr Wale Balogun, who mobilised the protest, said commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators were not responsible for the security challenges in Lagos.
“They are the friend of the masses who do not have big cars to ply their roads. Many commuters have been stranded since the ban began. “They cannot take away what they did not give. Rather than take to crime, these young people decided to earn their living by riding “Okada” and “Keke”.
