Lagos Intercepts Truck with Motorcycles and Men From Jigawa

Lagos state Environmental Sanitation and Special Offenses Taskforce said it intercepted a truck laden with motorcycles and no fewer than 123 men from Jigawa state.

The chairman of the task force, Yinka Egbeyemi told newsmen on Friday that the truck was intercepted based on information from members of the public on the manner the occupants conducted themselves when they arrived the state.

He said, “While my team was on operation, we got information from the public that some people had entered into Lagos in trailer loaded with over 300 people. We swiftly responded to the alert and trailed the truck from Berger area to Agege. We eventually intercepted the truck which carried no few than 123 men and 48 motorcycles.

“We have interrogated most of the truck’s occupants; from the information we gathered, some of them said they were coming from Jigawa State, with 48 of them claiming to own seized motorcycles. The rest of them said they came to Lagos in search of greener pasture.”
