Kaduna State Bans Okada
Reports reaching Sahara Reporters today indicates that a ban has been issued on Okada riders by the State’s Security Council so as to curb and effectively combat the recent rise in the terrorist attacks experienced in the state.
In the report given to Sahara by a Kaduna top security personnel, “The decision by the Kaduna State Security Council to outlaw ‘Okada’ motorcycle riders was taken as another measure to contain the kinds of terrorism and insurgency getting a foothold in Kaduna and Zaria towns”
According to Kaduna State’s Commissioner of Information, Saidu Abdullahi Adamu, “We are all aware of what is happening, how some elements are using these motorcycles to forment trouble, to commit murder. We know, of course, that there could be some hardship here and there, knowing fully that some of the nooks and crannies that a motor cycle can move in, a tricycle cannot, or a taxi or bus. But notwithstanding, we have to look at the issue of security and the way some of these motorcycles are been used to cause a lot of troubles, a lot of insecurity.”
