He tweeted, “The enforcement of the ban on motorcycles popularly called Okada is serious and that’s exactly how we take it. The ban is real, so it’s better you carry your bike and lock it somewhere because Edafe Bright cannot help when it’s impounded. The directive from the State Government is to crush them all.”
The Secretary to the State Government, Kingsley Emu, in Asaba, made the announcement while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the State Council Meeting presided over by the governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on May 24.
According to Emu, the ban on Okada was necessary due to the increase in crime committed with Okada and the frequently reported cases of vandalism with strict enforcement to begin on Saturday, June 1.
