A viral video currently circulating online captured the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu ordering the arrest of yet-to-be-identified military personnel who was seen riding a motorcycle against traffic.

According to media reports, the incident happened on Tuesday, June 28, 2022, when the man allegedly disregarded traffic laws on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road in the Victoria Island area of Lagos.

The governor reportedly saw the soldier travelling through one-way traffic while en route to an event and instantly ordered his security escort to arrest the motorcyclist.

This comes after the state government issued a warning to private motorcyclists not to disobey traffic laws and banned commercial motorbikes (okada) in six LGAs across the state.

The unnamed military officer was seen being put into a van by security personnel in the viral video.
