Police enforce prohibition on motorcycles traveling at night in Katsina

He added that the restriction in other Local Government Areas, especially the frontline areas, remained from 6p.m to 6a.m.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the state government banned motorcycle movements from the above mentioned time due to insecurity.

Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina, however, lifted the restriction to ease movement during the month of Ramadan.

He added that the enforcement was necessary due to the recent threat to security caused by terrorists and other criminals using motorcycles.

“I am directed to draw the attention of the general public that the ban on the movement of motorcycles from 10p.m-6a.m in Katsina city is still in force.

“While in the frontline LGAs from 6p.m to 6a.m. It was temporarily lifted to ease movements during Ramadan.” the spokesperson said.
