ABEOKUTA – Contrary to the media report purportedly linking the commercial motorcycle operators with the dreaded Boko Haram sect, the South Western leaders of the Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association (ACOMORAN) said its members are neither “Boko Haram” nor “willing tools” in the hands of the sect.
Rising from a zonal meeting held in Ogun State, the association maintained that, all its members are law abiding citizens that engage in transport business to earn a living as well as contribute to the nation’s socio -economic growth.
Speaking after the meeting held in Sango-Ota weekend, National Secretary, Dr. Francis Banji Ayeni condemned the report made by a factional President of ACOMORAN, Muhd Sani Hassan in Abuja which portrayed the Okada riders in Nigeria as willing tools in the hands of the Boko Haram sect.
The meeting which was attended by leaders of the association in the region including the Chairman Board of Trustee, BoT, in the South West, Egunjobi Adeosun, state Chairman of the association Akeem Adetola and others, Ayeni called the nation’s security agencies to investigate the statement and the people behind it to ascertain their mission.
