Tricycles and motorcycles will not be used as means of transportation in Girie, Yola South and Yola-North local government areas of Adamawa State within the hours of 10pm to 5am.
This is contained in the executive order issued by the state governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.
The order was announced in a statement on Tuesday evening by the Press Secretary to the governor, Humwashi Wonosikou.
The statement said the order titled “Adamawa State Restriction of Movement of Tricycles/Motorcycles Executive Order No.1 of 2021, comes into effect on Tuesday 2nd February, 2021 until further notice.
It said the governor said the restriction became necessary to curtail the activities of hoodlums in the affected areas.
“They have become an extraordinary threat to the peace, wellbeing, security and stability of the state’s political and economic systems, as well as a negative effect on continuous development, and must therefore be effectively curtailed,” the statement said.
The statement said that the Executive Order prescribes a sentence of six months imprisonment with an option of one hundred thousand naira fine or both, in addition to forfeiting the tricycle or motorcycle to the government if found guilty for violation of the Order.
