The band of men levying road users on the Lagos-Badagry expressway have been cleared off the corridor after TheCable report exposed their activities. The investigation revealed how a group of men identified as “barrack boys” extorted and abetted commuters flouting Lagos state ban on commercial motorcycles along the highway. The report established that the men had the backing of some soldiers to collect toll fees from bike riders and passengers. Sources informed TheCable that the extortionists worked in connivance with some soldiers attached to the Nigerian Army Cantonment, Ojo, which is located adjacent to the toll point. The “barrack boys” would order passengers who failed to pay the toll off their bikes and force them to walk about 50 meters past the cantonment gate.
