Court dismisses suit challenging Lagos govt ban on Okada

Justice Akintayo Aluko of a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, yesterday, dismissed a suit challenging the Lagos State Government over ban of commercial motorcycles on state roads in some local councils and local council development areas (LCDAs).

The judge held that the plaintiff, a Lagos-based lawyer, Julius Ajibulu, who filed the suit on behalf of residents of Lagos State, failed to establish that the Lagos State government has no power to ban the operation of tricycles and motorcycles in the designated roads.
