Responding, Muazu assured of police support to ensure smooth running of the business.

He in particularly, praised the company on how its modus operandi had helped in great amount to curtail criminal acts and securing lives of lagosians.

“ORide ensures that riders are not only trained to international standards (and by third party verified trainers) but also undergo verifications processes before they join the programme. Some other processes include providing two guarantors and a riders license.

“I know for the riders, you are engaging them in training, you have do’s and don’ts for them and also know them very well. They aren’t like the regular bikers you see on the road and the business is well regulated. “
