3 Trucks Of ORide Bikes Seized By Police In Ikeja On Monday

This is certainly not the best of time for hailing operators and business owners in Lagos as the government has left them to their fate. According to an eye witness account today, Reports have it that a sizeable number of motorcycles (up to 3 trucks were packed full with bikes) belonging to OPay’s bike-hailing arm, ORide, were today impounded in the Ikeja area of Lagos by officials of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) for reasons that are yet unclear.
