The Lagos State Taskforce has deployed additional patrol motorcycles across key areas of the state in an effort aimed at tackling the menace of “one chance” operators and other traffic-related crimes.

It says the effort is in response to numerous public complaints following the initial deployment of the Agency’s brand new Max S Bikes in August.

The Chairman of the Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele, who ordered the reinforcement particularly in areas with high incidences of traffic robberies noted that it is aimed at enhancing security and safety of commuters.

Akerele identified the areas to include Agege Motor Road, Fagba, Gbagada Expressway, Iyana-Oworo and Oshodi Expressway among others.

The Chairman stated that the added patrol units would improve the Agency’s ability to swiftly respond to incidents, track down criminals and create a greater sense of safety for all motorists.

“The agency remains committed to maintaining law and order within the metropolis, ensuring that all citizens can travel without fear of robbery or other criminal activities,” he said.

The taskforce boss urged residents to continue reporting suspicious activities to the agency, through the designated phone number: 08089705008 or its social media handles.

He assured the public that those new measures would significantly reduce traffic crimes and enhance overall environmental decorum and safety in the metropolis.
