Fashola Arrests Policeman Riding Okada On Expressway


 Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola yesterday ordered the arrest of a mobile policeman, Ebahon Johnson, for riding a motorcycle on the prohibited Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway.

Johnson, a police sergeant, was accosted on the popular Airport bus stop, close to Ikeja Along bus stop, while the governor’s convoy was going towards the airport on the other lane.

Sighting the convoy, the policeman attempted to abandon his motorcycle and flee, but was overpowered and arrested by the security details attached to the governor.

Speaking on the arrest, Fashola said the policeman would be handed over to the state Commissioner of Police for prosecution.

The governor, who was returning from the inspection of ongoing projects across the state, said his administration would not condone flouting of its law by anybody, regardless of his or her status.
