Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa has reviewed the restriction order on the operations of commercial tricycles, popularly known as Keke Napep, in the three council areas of Yola North, Yola South and Girei.
The governor, in a statement on Sunday by Mr Humwashi Wonosikou, his Chief Press Secretary, said that the directive, formerly from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., had been eased to 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily.
Fintiri said the new directive, coinciding with Ramadan fasting period, takes immediate effect.
“The development is to enable the Muslims to partake in ‘tafsir’ sessions during the period,” he said.
The state government had in February 2021, imposed a restriction of movement on operators in the three local councils through the Adamawa State Restriction of Movement of Tricycles/Motorcycles Executive Order No.1 of 2021.
“Security agencies have been directed to beef up security across the state, especially in the affected councils, by deploying more service personnel and ensuring the security of life and property.
“Anyone found wanting will be made to face the wrath of the law,” he said.
Fintiri, however, appealed to residents not to encourage any action that could turn back the hands of the clock regarding the success recorded towards peace in the state, but to keep living in harmony.
