Rage as Anambra enforces ban on motorcycles, tricycles

The busy Onitsha-Owerri Road was yesterday grounded as commercial motorcyclists and tricycle operators engaged the Anambra State Special Task Force enforcing the government directive banning them from plying some designated roads in the commercial city.

Governor Willie Obiano had earlier this year banned motorcyclists popularly called Okada riders and tricycle (Keke NAPEP) operators from plying Onitsha- Owerri Road, Enugu-Onitsha Ex-pressway, Awka Road, Nkpor Old Road, Niger Street, Oguta Road, New and Old market.
