- Governor Fintiri emphasized that this new directive, coinciding with the Ramadan fasting period, is effective immediately
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa has adjusted the restriction order concerning the operation of commercial tricycles, commonly referred to as Keke Napep, in the three council areas of Yola North, Yola South, and Girei.
In a statement released on Sunday by his chief press secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, Governor Fintiri announced that the directive, previously set from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., has been revised to 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. daily.
Governor Fintiri emphasized that this new directive, coinciding with the Ramadan fasting period, is effective immediately.
“The development is to enable the Muslims to partake in ‘tafsir’ sessions during the period,” he said.
In February 2021, the state government imposed a restriction on the movement of operators in the three local councils through the Adamawa State Restriction of Movement of Tricycles/Motorcycles Executive Order No.1 of 2021.
“Security agencies have been directed to beef up security across the state, especially in the affected councils, by deploying more service personnel and ensuring the security of life and property.
“Anyone found wanting will be made to face the wrath of the law,” he said.
Mr Fintiri, however, appealed to residents not to encourage any action that could turn back the hands of the clock regarding the success recorded towards peace in the state but to keep living in harmony.
