The RRS disclosed this in a statement on X.com on Monday, stating that the initiative aims to safeguard the bridge’s infrastructure and prevent harassment of road users by miscreants.

The statement read, “The Commander Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, has directed the squad’s bike riders to commence a 24-hour patrol of the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos as a way of protecting the infrastructure on the bridge as well as prevent incidence of harassment of road users by miscreants.

“This is in line with the directives of the Commissioner of Police, CP Adegoke Fayoade, to the squad for protection of lives, property and public infrastructure on the newly renovated bridge.”

In the statement, Egbeyemi urged motorists and road users to cooperate with the RRS bike riders for a more efficient operation.
