Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, ordered the arrest of some motorcyclists, including a lance corporal, for riding in the wrong direction along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway on Tuesday. The Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Governor, Wale Ajetunmobi, revealed this in videos shared on his X handle on Tuesday.

His caption read, “This Morning: Lawless okada riders plying one-way along Lagos-Badagry Expressway left their motorcycles and passengers upon sighting the convoy of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“One of the offenders — a lance corporal in the Army — was arrested with his bike.
In another video, Governor Sanwo-Olu ordered the officers to put one of the motorcyclists who claimed to be a soldier into the vehicle, stating that he was going to lock him up.

He said, “Put him there; let your father come and rescue you. You’re telling me you are a soldier; that is the reason I’m going to lock you up.
Sanwo-Olu was on his way to Lagos State University to commission the Femi Gbajabiamila Conference Centre when he accosted the erring motorcyclists. The encounter led to the arrest of five of them.
The scene is reminiscent of Fashola’s arrest of two military officers, Colonel Kayode Yusuf and Sergeant Aliu Adeomi for driving on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane in 2012.
