Following the Lagos State Government’s recent ban on Okada operations in Lekki and other areas of the state, Oniru of Iru Oba Abdulwasiu Lawal has revealed plan by okada riders to attack the Lekki area of Lagos.
Recall that the Lagos state government enforced the ban after a sound engineer named David Imoh was lynched by Okada riders over a N100 balance.
The Oniru, in a circular published earlier today, urged Lekki residents to remain watchful and security-conscious while announcing the ill plot.
