Police probe VIO, Okada riders’ clash in Abuja

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has launched an investigation into a dispute between the Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) and commercial motorcyclists (Okada riders) in Abuja's Life Camp area. According to the police, the confrontation took place on Thursday evening, during an enforcement crackdown on commercial motorcyclists operating on major roads within the Federal Capital Territory.

A VIO official, who was part of the task force set up by the FCT Administration to curb the issue, reportedly had an altercation with a commercial motorcyclist, which escalated into a full-blown confrontation. The Police Commissioner, Ahmed Sanusi, has ordered a thorough investigation into the incident. The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, announced that the command will provide further details as the investigation unfolds.
