Osho said that FCTA was determined to rid the area of illegal motor parks, tricycles, commercial motorcycles and vehicles that were not road worthy so as to improve safety of lives and property in the city.

“What we are doing today is just part of the ongoing general cleanup of the city.

“So, it is in continuation of what we have been doing for some weeks now. Yet, the city is littered with a lot of dirt and negativities.

“We went after illegal motor parks- that is those who are parking in unauthorized places; we went after commercial motorcycles that are not allowed in the city.

“This will pass a message to Abuja residents that negativity is not allowed. All manner of traffic offences and nuisances are not allowed. We should respect traffic laws and we will find it easy.”
