The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said the measure would cut off funding of terrorists and bandits in Nigeria.
Malami spoke while addressing State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, after a meeting of the National Security Council presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari. He was flanked by his Interior and Police Affairs counterparts, Rauf Aregbesola and Mohammed Dingyadi.He said the government needed to act because terrorists had moved from the conventional ways of funding their activities to mining and ransom taking.
Malami said the motorcycles were used by the bandits for movement, while mining provides them the money to fund their arms supply.
Motorcycle are for personal use and not for transportation, but lack of good roads and proper infrastructure transportation gives room for the mushroom. Even Marwa too should be banned. Many are reckless and has no insurance that covers none, hence why many runs away after acdent
They should band okada in terrorists and bandits control areas, not the whole Nigeria, Buhari who told Nigerians youths that there's no government work for them anymore, now wants to ban people's means of income,
Then crime rate will increase speedily... Bunch of failures!!!
D Return of d Bicycle looms for fit Nigerians as we relapse from speed to snail economy. Congrats in choosing stagnancy u r a giant. Dope
Suddenly it’s okay to allow bikes all over the country just because the proposed ban is coming from Buhari ha!!! We’re just IMPOSSIBLE…
