All vehicles used for commercial transportation are to be painted in yellow and black within 30 days.

Telecommunication services have been shut down in parts of Kaduna State as part of new measures to fight banditry in the state.

Parts of Kaduna affected by the telecommunications ban were not made public at a media briefing held by the Commissioner for Internal Security of Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, who announced other new measures at a media briefing on Wednesday, September 29, 2021.

Also effective from September 30, the state government banned the use of motorcycles, both for commercial and personal purposes, for three months.

All vehicles used for commercial transportation, including ride hailing cars for Uber and Bolt, are to be painted in yellow and black within 30 days.

Tricycles are allowed to operate only between 6 am and 7 pm, and the government emphasised a ban on possession of or wielding of dangerous weapons.

The sale of petrol in jerry cans or other containers has also been banned in Birnin Gwari, Giwa Igabi, Chikun, Kachia, Kagarko and Kajuru LGAs.

Aruwan said the new measures in the interest of our collective safety and security, and to aid security agencies fighting criminals.

The commissioner said the inconvenience is regretted, but the hardship is expected to be temporary.

"Too many lives have been lost, and too many families have been shattered.

"Small groups of wicked persons cannot continue to hold us to ransom, and force us to live in perpetual fear," he said.

Kaduna is one of the worst affected by banditry and violent attacks in the northern region, with 1,482 people killed and 3,695 kidnapped between January 2020 and June 2021, according to the government's own records.

They want to rule at all cost but now they have turned the country upside down.

Northern elites turn that region to war zone because of presidency las las everybody go chop breakfast weda innocent or guilty. Banditry and terrorism are d new code.

So where will the abokis carry all their okadas to? They have taken over the streets of all the states in the south. So should the south be made to suffer more in the hands of the rampaging abokis in the south operating okadas?

The people from the region of ungun known men, aka ipob terrorists, will abuse El Rufai for working to save his state.


Ipob terrorists are just shooting action film, nobody should talk about their terrorism.

Nyamiri talking as if their blighted region is not worse than the North.

You've your own bandits and terrorists parading as ESN/IPOB/UGM, then on top you've mass illiteracy, drug dealers, ritualists, kidnappers, robbers, brigands, pillagers, arsonists, nihilists, thieves, fakeware peddlers, car jackers, gun runners, baby factories, prostitution, yahoo plus, petty crooks, scammers, smugglers, black marketeers, profiteers, bootleggers, moonshiners, highwaymen, plunderers, pilferers, rapists, assassins, thugs, touts, louts, and a million other villains and scum of the earth.

All in a region no bigger than a single state in the north.

Hmmm

Everything boils down to how clueless and wicked government is.

Why ban motorcycles and shut down the Telecom in some parts of the state just to keep track and stop bandits from operating.

Now, What happened to the earlier introduced "compulsory NIN" that was supposed to stop terrorism ?

Ooooh was it introduced to enrich some people?

LAGOS PREPARE FOR INFLOW OF OKADA MEN FROM THE NORTH.

Hell rufai is banning okada in kaduna but he's sending all the jobless hausafulani to lagos and ibadan, and they are being instructed not to listen to the orders of the states governors
