A group of human right organizations under the aegis of Concerned Human Right Nigeria has appealed to the Lagos State Government to rescind it decision on restriction of tricycles in Lagos state.

The National Coordinator of the group, Comrade Declan Ihekaire said at a press briefing yesterday that the sufferings the restriction has inflicted on the masses is massive. “Lagosians have been going through serious trauma to catch up with appointments owing to the restriction on okada’s in some areas in the state.”


Meanwhile, the state government has begun a clampdown on the operations of the tricycles in Ikeja, Surulere, Victoria Island, Ajah, Ikoyi and its environs.
