Okada riders protest 'extortion' by Kwara agency

Date: 2015-07-10

Commercial motorcyclists (aka okada riders) yesterday protested against the Kwara State Road Traffic Management Agency (KWARTMA) for alleged extortion, intimidation and harassment.

The protesters were said to have taken their grievances to the Government House in Ilorin.

The Chief of Staff, Government House, Alhaji Wahab Yusuf, received their representatives and held a meeting with them.

It was learnt that the protesters on Wednesday marched to the Gaa-Imam office of the agency, brandishing weapons.

Operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) prevented them from gaining entry.

The Chief Executive Officer of KWARTMA, Mr. Yekeen Bello, denied the allegation.

Said he: "The allegation by the okada riders that our officials charge them N10,000 is a surprise to me. It is also not true that our personnel demand N200 bribe from arrested commercial motorcyclists."
