BANNING OKADA OR NOT----- BY PATIENCE OGBO
More than five million Nigerians will be jobless if the Lagos state government carries out its purported plan to ban commercial motorcycle riders popularly known as okada in the state.
This was revealed by Mr. Tijani Perkis, the chairman of the Motorcycle Owners Association of Lagos State (MOALS) at a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday.
The press conference which was attended by members of the motorcycle riders, State Security Service (SSS) and officers of the transport ministry in Lagos state was a forum for all the stake holders to proffer solutions to the mirage of problems involved in commercial motorcycle operations in Lagos state.
Mr. Perkis stated that commercial motorcycle is a means of transportation that should be properly recognized and sanitized by the government.
“Commercial motorcycle operations evolved as a child of necessity due to the unbearable level of unemployment in the country. From the mid 80s, okada business provided answers by becoming the source of income of over five million Nigerians, also okada came to the rescue of artisan graduates WHO have NO INCOME TO ESTABLISH A WORKSHOP,
Also during the economic recession and it attendant retrenchment, okada also came to the rescue of the teeming unemployed” Mr. Perkis said.
Mr. Perkis blames the poor state of the roads in the country, and the perennial traffic gridlock in Lagos state for the upsurge in residents’ need to patronize commercial motorcycle as a means of transportation
“Before it is “heavy hold –up”, now it is complete stand still on our roads; many man hours are lost in such traffic ,lives are lost and people resorted to using okada to ease their plight on the road”Mr. Perkis said .
In proffering solutions to the challenges in commercial motorcycle operation in the state, the stakeholders call on the government to enforce stricter penalties on traffic defaulters.
“there should be a total ban on all unrecognized okada associations in Lagos as too many mushroom associations are springing up and they are the ones causing problems. Also there should be the introduction of uniform reflectors in the name of the unions, stricter enforcement of riders card and the inculcation of training ,
the compulsory registration of every riders into parks or unit for easy identification; we submit that it is no solution to throw away the baby with the bath water as this will result to unemployment and upsurge in crime in the state. As a result, we are ready to work with the government to ensure that okada operations become safe for all but if the government insist on banning okada, then they should be ready to provide an alternatives for the riders ” Mr. Perkis said.
Reacting to the purported ban in commercial motorcycle operation in the state, Remi Thomas, the Director of Transport and Operations in the Lagos state ministry of Transportation said government is ready to work with commercial motorcycle riders through a joint task force.
“The government has held series of meetings with the okada riders and our aim is to make okada operations safe for all, we will support you if you obey the law.”Mr. Thomas said.
In order to curb the menace of commercial motorcycle riders in the state, the Lagos state government last week began a clamp down on motorcycle riders plying the high way, with over 1000 defaulters arrested.
Also governor Babtubde Raji Fashola recently arrested five commercial motorcycle riders for operating riding against traffic on the one way route.
The governor blames commercial motorcycle riders for the upsurge in crime in the state and the frequent accidents on the highway and as a way to check okada menace, the governor also reconstituted a security committee to curb the recklessness of the okada riders in the state.

Man 29 ,rapes in -law to death by Patience Ogbo
Barely two weeks after a young lady identified as Faith Akin was allegedly raped to death by a middle aged man, a similar incident has been reported at the Epe police station.
The report alleged that a -29 -years old man identified as Ime Titus has raped his in-law one Blessing John , 19 to death.
The incident happened in a forest at Epe where Ime allegedly trailed Blessing to her father’s farm where he raped her to death.
Ime said he assaulted Blessing due to her refusal to date him; he blames his dastardly act on his “great” love for the deceased.
Narrating how he raped and killed Blessing, Ime said “ I just moved to Lagos from Akwa -Ibom state to look for a job when I met Blessing. She is my in -law as my uncle is married to her elder sister. As soon as I set my eyes on her, I fell in love with her but I kept it to myself; but when I could not bear it anymore, I went to her to declare my love for her but she turned me down.I kept pestering her but she refused blatantly that she did not love me ; this made me angry”. Ime said.
Ime added that despite Blessing’s refusal to date him, he had to device a means to force her to have sex with him
“ I do not intend to kill Blessing but my feeling for her was very strong. So after monitoring her movement for some time, I discover that she goes to the farm to uproot cassava in the evening with her father. That day, I trailed her from her house to the forest , she was alone and she did not know I was following her , when she got into the dense forest and there was no one in sight, I ran ahead of her and grabbed her , and started declaring my love for her but she turned me down
I was very angry and I grabbed her dress. She started struggling with me but I took a big stick and hit her on her head, she slumped immediately and I bend down over her and removed her skirt and had sex with her; all this while, she did not respond but I still had sex with her a second time but I do not know that she was dead; I thought she was just unconscious.” Ime said.
Ime ran into the forest after raping Blessing, hid there for four days. He however came out of his hiding when he could not bear the hunger anymore and reported himself to his family who then handed him over to the police for prosecution.
Blessing’s remains were discovered by her father and has been deposited at a public mortuary for autopsy while the case was transferred to the Homicide department at Panti Yaba for further investigation.

There was discontent at the Family Magistrate Court Ikeja, Lagos on Wednesday as the judgement in the case of the death of some Lagosians crushed by a trailer owned by Dangote Sugar Factory was again postponed due to the absence of the judge.
The accident happened in 2010 at a police checkpoint in front of Otedola Estate along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The trailer crashed into several stationery vehicles, leading to the death of many.
Families of the deceased and lawyers who had arrived the court in high spirit expressed their disappointment when the Coroner Judge, Tajudeen Elias, did not show up in court to deliver the much-awaited judgment.
The Coroner inquest was initiated by Access to Justice and Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana, to establish the cause of the deaths arising from the ghastly accident on August 15, 2010.
Elias had scheduled March 28, 2012 for the verdict.
It can be recalled that on August 15, 2010, over 20 persons lost their lives in the accident when a Dangote Sugar Refinery truck crashed into a long line of stationery vehicles held up on the Otedola Bridge by a police checkpoint.
The inquest lasted 16 months and there were 18 sittings between September 2010 and March 2012.
According to Access to Justice: "Coroner inquests are a special process of inquiring into deaths that occur in circumstances which the Law (Coroners’ System Law of Lagos State 2007) regards as sudden, tragic and/or unnatural. It entails a fact-finding inquiry by a judicial officer which results in a verdict establishing the cause and circumstances of such deaths. Access to Justice was also instrumental in facilitating the reform and revitalization of this law as a way to enhance accountability for the unlawful taking of human life by law enforcement."

Community policing has been given a boost following the training of
para -military agencies to combat crime in Lagos state.
The two day workshop was organized by the Justice For All (J4A) in
collaboration with the DFID.
More than twenty personnel from the Neighborhood Watch, Vigilantes
and other community based outfits from the Agege local government
council received intensive training from seasoned security experts
among whom is the former commissioner for police Mr. Frank Odita.
The workshop which was conducted at the CLEEN Foundation office at
Ojudu from March 26th -27th also provided the participants the
opportunity to network with the professionals on tackling rural crime
and violence .
Dr. Eban , one of the lecturers at the workshop spoke on security
and human rights stating that community based security outfits have
a vital role in checking crime and criminality.
“Security is not determined how available guns and weapons are. It is
about creating the enabling environment that will make the use of
violence unnecessary” Dr. Eban said.
Dr. Eban added that the fundamental human rights of Nigerians have
been infringed upon due to government failure to provide adequate
security.
“Security is a social contract and it is the principal responsibility
of the state through the government to provide security for all
citizens, individual, groups and corporate. In return, the citizens
give loyalty to the state as they give up their rights to secure
themselves to the state sadly there is huge outcry for soft security
which is security of the basic necessities of food , housing
,clothing , dignity, protection from poverty , exploitation, disease ,
injustice which can be ensured by proving the enabling environment
for people to get their means of livelihood,
That contract stated that if the government fails in this social
contract, the citizens seeks to regain their rights to secure
themselves (self-help) and this is conductive for anarchy and
violation of human rights” Dr. Eban said.
Speaking on practical security management skills , Mr. Odita
hailed the acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Mohammed
Abubakar for dismantling the police check points while stating that
indiscipline especially at the checkpoints is the bane of the Nigeria
Police Force.
“ The “DIET” of a police man is first Discipline, if you are not
discipline, you are rotten. Discipline attracts respect. “I” is for
integrity, “E” for Enlightenment while “T” is for Tactical and with
this “DIET” any police man is ready for the job ” Mr. Odita said.
Mr. Odita also admonished the participants to carry out their jobs of
securing lives and property with human face “ Any person wearing a
security uniform is a policeman and the police officer’s first duty is
not just to carry out arrest but to prevent crime” He said.
Also Speaking on arrest and detention of suspects, Mr. Odita said
“ Arrest will involve the use of minimal force and the obedience to
respect human rights ; the force applied must be commensurate with
the force threatened.” He said.
The participants expressed gratitude to the organizers of the
workshop, while urging the government to play the leading role in
providing capacity and training for community based security outfits.
“This training will go a long way in assisting us in community
policing. The training has opened our eyes on how to effectively and
professionally combat crime in our vicinity; a lot of this training is
done by NGOs and private outfits so it is good for government to get
to the grassroots and carry out training for the local vigilante
because we are closer to the people” Abayomi Adewale, the Vice
Chairman of the Vigilante Group from Isale -oja , Agege said.
Morufu Kelani the Head of the Neighbourhood Watch at Dopemu
Agege said the workshop will assists his members to perform
their job effectively.
“ We have a lot of intelligence on black spots in out neighbourhood
and with this training, we can work effectively with the police in
carrying out our job professionally as our aim is stamping out
crime ; this knowledge we have acquired will be taken back to impact
on other members who are not here” Mr. Kelani said.

It was gathered that the decomposed corpse of the woman was found laying face up on a dusty sofa with a cross in her left hand ; she was easily identified as the hair on her head have not all decomposed.
The son’s remains however were skeletons found at the extreme of the room close to where a stainless pot palm oil inside was placed on a rusty stove..
The room also had cooking utensils, rotten tubers of yam, and clothes scattered all over the floor with dust and cobwebs all over the place.
A dusty photo album of the woman and her family was also seen on the wall adjacent were her decomposed corpse was.
It was gathered that the team of pathologists led by professor John Oladipo Fanfuwa were shocked to their marrows at the sight of the decomposed corpses which they with the assistance of the police recovered for autopsy.
It was also gathered that the deceased have occupied three bedroom in the six block of flats since 2006 with other neighbours
The agent of the house told police officers that he saw the woman in 2010 when he came to issue her a notice to remind her that her rent was due .
The landlord of the house identified as Yemidale Kayode is said to be outside the country
Meanwhile the police arrested the agent of the house and the four other occupants of the other blocks of flats to get their side of the case being presumed to be a case of murder.
“How can they say they do not know anything about these corpses? Theses are people they have not seen since 2010 and they did not bother to find out ; also what about the offensive smell that would have emanated from the decomposed bodies
there are lot of questions that need answers and we will get to the root of the mysterious deaths” An officer who do not want his name in print said.

Glory narrated the incid

Glory added that Joseph became hostile to her and threatened to kill her.
“I started seeing another version of Joseph after I refused to terminate the pregnancy. last year, I saw a woman with two children in Joseph’ house, when I asked him he said they were his late brothers children and wife, it was later I discovered that the woman is his wife and the children are his; I left the barrack where I was staying and moved to Bundary at Ajeunle but before I left he told me that he will not be responsible for my pregnancy which I did not mind.” Glory said
according to Glory, Joseph trailed her to her apartment at Boundary and beat her up mercilessly after he found out that she had given birth to a baby girl.
“ I went through a lot to take care of myself during the pregnancy and my family members were supporting me so after I gave birth to the baby on January 13th, Joseph trailed me to the house at boundary and he forced me to hand over the baby to him, I refused and he started beating me up it was neighbours who saved me from his hands, as if that was not enough, he came back the next day and demanded for the baby but I refused,he slapped me in the face and I fainted , he tried to take the baby away but my neighbours stopped him and hide the baby
Narrating how her baby was kidnapped , Glory said
"I called my mother to come from the village after I regained consciousness ; so that was how on the 2nd of February by 3.00am hoodlum numbering eight, stormed my house beat me and my mother up; two of them were holding guns while the others had broken bottles and sharp objects which they used on me and my mother ; I hide my baby but they searched for her and grabbed her from me and ran away, I ran after them shouting , that was when I saw Joseph o a bike parked ahead at the street ; I called out to him to bring my baby, I saw their faces very well because there was light but Joseph refused , I made called to his phones but he did not answer” Glory said
Glory and her sister mama Victory later reported the incident to the police and the navy authority at satellite town navy barracks, Joseph was arrested and he confessed that he collected the baby from the hoodlums that fateful day and placed her inside a cartoon, which he threw into the Lagoon at Liverpool .
It was gathered that the navy authority arrested two of the hoodlums who attacked Glory.
The case was transferred to the Homicide department at Panti Yaba .
“ I want justice for my dead baby, I want the Navy to hand over Joseph to the police for prosecution, it has been more than three weeks now and they said they are investigating him, so I am calling on the navy authority to bring Joseph to book; they should hand him over to the police for killing my baby as he has caused me great pains”Glory laments.
