A welcome development.

Okada/keke riders are mostly thieves.

The ban has been in existence in Aba since 2019.

Should ban them for life,any body that want to do transport should go and learn how to drive a car, it's a shame driving keke in this age of 21st century, there should be sanity on the road.

Nice, but Sha create jobs, you won't believe some people are home crying and thinking what to do next. You little decision can drive people into suicide

That's because banning Keke can't stop miscreants from breaking the law. Doing proper police work of investigating & catching those who break and making face the law is part of what stops crime

Must you copy?

they did the same thing for okada, yet there is still crime. Until we fight crime the right way in this country we would continue to ban things okada, keke, taxis or even a specific kind of bus.
