Ban on okada, tricycle beyond 6pm stands in Kwara – Police

The Kwara State Police command has reiterated its ban on operators of motorcycles and tricycles beyond between 9pm – 6am in the state.

The command said the reminder became imperative in light of the wrong assumption by some political party supporters that the enforcement of the order is targeted at operators loyal to certain political parties.

There have been disquiets in the state over the issue with opposition parties alleging the decision was targeted at them.

But according to police spokesperson, Okasanmi Ajayi, the assumption is false and without basis adding that no arrest has been made.

“No union leader was arrested by the police for supporting any political party. If there was any arrest, the arrestee definitely must have committed an offence.

“The police command is apolitical and non-partisan and has been discharging its duties conscientiously without fear or favour,” he said.

He said the state commissioner of police, Paul Odama, advised supporters of political parties to eschew heating the polity and stand by the truth at all times.
