The Borno State Police Command has issued a reminder to the public that the ban on motorcycles, including electrical bikes, in the state is still in effect.
The ban was initially implemented by the Borno State Security Council due to security challenges in the state.
ASP Kenneth Daso Nahum, the command’s spokesman in a press release on Thursday, warned that anyone found in possession of electrical or petrol-powered motorbikes will be arrested for violating the order.
Filling stations have also been cautioned against selling petrol products to motorcyclists, with sanctions and prosecution threatened for non-compliance.
Delivery and logistic companies have been advised to use tricycles (Keke Napep) for their operations in the state.
He said the police command is seeking the cooperation of the public to ensure sustainable peace and security in the state.
This move is aimed at addressing the security concerns in Borno State and maintaining public safety.
The public is urged to adhere to the ban and report any violations to the authorities.
