Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator, has reacted to the move to ban motorcycles popularly known as Okada in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Sani said it\u2019s unfair to generally ban Okada in states not infested with bandits and terrorists.<\/p>\n

He, however, admitted that bandits and terrorists use motorcycles as a means of transportation in the North.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, Sani wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s true that motorcycles have been the only means of transportation used by terrorists in the North to launch attacks; but its unfair to generally ban motorcycles (Okada) even in states not infested with bandits and terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Federal Government is considering a ban on the use of motorcycles and mining activities in the country.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said the measure would cut off funding of terrorists and bandits in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Malami spoke while addressing State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, after a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n
