The Federal Capital Territory Administration ( FCTA) on Wednesday vowed not to relent on its aggressive Okada ban enforcement, regardless of attacks against the taskforce team. 

The administration made this disclosure  yesterday during the crushing of 476 impounded bikes at Area 1, Garki. 

The Director Directorate of Road Traffic Services ( DRTS) Dr. Abdulateef Bello,  said the impounding and crushing of the bikes will be sustained,  so long as the operators keep violating the restrictions. 

Bello urged residents to help government in discouraging the lawlessness of these bike riders, stating that the restrictions are still valid, and that the administration would remain committed to zero tolerant to violation of extant rules.

The Senior Special Assistant to FCT Minister on Monitoring,  Inspection and Enforcement,  Ikharo Attah who monitored the exercise, said while the violators of rules continue to thrive in their negative attitudes,  the taskforce will remain firm arresting them. 

Attah expressed shock that after the repeated warnings through different means, and crushing over 1,000 impounded bikes some months ago, people were still taking unnecessary economic risk by bringing in droves commercial motorcycles to restricted areas.
