Badaru, in a statement by his Personal Secretary, Auwalu D. Sankara, on Saturday, said state government had already contacted the Lagos State Government over the ‘unlawful’ arrest of 123 okada riders who are indigenes of Jigawa State.
“After getting in touch with the officials of the Lagos state government, Governor Badaru, who was not in the country also spoke to the All Progressives Congress, APC, leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who assured of their unconditional release,” he noted.
The anner of thei entry to Lagos triggered suspicion, and Lagosians quickly alerted the police authorities in the state..
