Etim EkpimahCommercial motorcyclists plying Oke- Ira from the Shonola Street junction, opposite the Excellence Hotel, Aguda, in the Ogba area of Lagos State, have accused the police of harassment, extortion and seizure of their motorcycles. The motorcyclists told PUNCH Metro that the police were carrying out regular raids on them despite the fact that they were not congregating on the Excellence Hotel junction, but on Shonola Street. One of the commercial motorcyclists, who identified himself simply as Michael, said the police were coming to the street, where they wait for passengers, to impound their motorcycles. The motorcyclists noted that they had to pay the police at Ogba N2,200 and those from Pen Cinema N5,200 before their motorcycles were released. Elkana urged the motorcyclists to come to his office with evidence to substantial their claims.
