There was an uproar in Akure, the Ondo State Capital at the weekend following a protest by Commercial motorcyclist, popularly called okada against alleged extortion by men of the Ondo state Police command.
The okada riders who marched on major streets and roads in Akure called on the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Isaac Eke to caution his men, who they alleged often frustrate them on the road through extortion.
During the protest which lasted for several hours, business activities were totally paralysed, as major roads were blocked by the protesters who moved round the city in large number.
