The Corps boss said that the truck and the Opay bike had been taken away by TRACE, FRSC and the police officials to ease free flow of traffic on the expressway.

He advised commercial motorcyclists in the state to desist from riding against one way traffic to avoid unnecessary loss of lives and property.
