The Lagos state government first banned motorcycles on highways and six local governments and nine Local Council Development Areas in June 2022, citing security reasons.
Since then, hundreds of motorcycles have been impounded and crushed while the affected areas appear more peaceful with fewer reports of crime and criminal activities.
The government later extended the ban on the activities of commercial motorcycles, to four more Local Government Areas (LGAs) and six Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).
