Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, had on Tuesday, told State House Correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting, in Abuja, that the government was considering a ban on motorcycles in order to curb crime.According to Alhaji Musa Yakodo, Chairman Kaduna Motorcycles Riders Association, about 70 percent unemployed youths are into motorcycle riding to survive.
He added that “they feed, marry with the little saving from riding motorcycles. Some of them feed their parents, pay hospital bills, pay school fees for their younger ones.” Secretary of the Association, Mose Musa Yaro believed the Federal Government was joking with the lives of several unemployed youths in the country.He suggested that if the Federal Government insisted on banning motorcycles, it should first provide means of livelihood to the unemployed.
