Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has banned the use of motorcycles, tricycles and shuttle buses across the state between 7 pm and 6 am daily.
The ban is with immediate effect.
The governor also urged the youths and stakeholders to take charge of the security situation in their various communities.
A statement by the Secretary to Anambra State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, said the ban was to check the activities of criminals using motorcycles, tricycles and shuttle buses to rob residents in the state.
The governor said the earlier ban on the use of motorcycles in Onitsha and Awka areas during the day and night was still in force.
He said any motorcycle found within these areas would be impounded and forfeited to the state government.
