More than twenty thousand commercial motorcycle operators have been arrested in Lagos for refusal to use crash helmets last year.

Also Seven thousand violators were also arrested between January and April this year.

Federal Road Safety Commission Sector Commander,Jonas Agwu said the command would not relent in its enforcement of the order on the use of crash helmets by riders and passengers.

He said a new strategy in the campaign on the enforcement of the use of crash helmet had been devised through pulling all the units in the Mainland command into a squad.

Governor Babatunde Fashola last week endorsed all security agencies in the State such as Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Vehicle Inspection Officers and the Police to join hands with the Commission to ensure the use of crash helmets.
