Peace Restored In Anambra Community Following Ban Of Okada

Gov WIllie Obiano

The recent ban of commercial motorcycles operation in Anambra has tremendously improved the state of security in Obosi town in Idemili North Council Area, Anambra state, the town’s President-General, Mr Ike Madubuosah has said.

This Madubuosah, said while fielding questions in an interview with newsmen in Obosi today, while commending Gov. Willie Obiano for the policy on the ban.

He described Obosi as one of the hubs of crime in the state and stated that most of the hoodlums involved in criminal activities disguised as commercial motorcyclist.

He stated that residents now enjoy peace and security since July 1, when the restriction was effected.

“Most of the criminals who made security of life and property difficult had left the town because of the increased effectiveness of vigilance group.

“The situation after the ban of Okada in Obosi is calm, we are happy because what was meant to be a means of free movement became a tool for thieves and cultists to terrorise our people.

“They could easily rob, shot their victims and rivals and zoom off on a bike but all that has reduced drastically now.

“With the ban, we are having control over their activities, everything is calm now, our vigilance group are more effective,” he said.

Madubuosah, however, noted that commuting around the town was no longer as easy as before and called on Obiano to make good his promise of replacing the outlawed motorcycles with shuttle buses.

He urged genuine transport operators to key into the process of benefiting from 1,000 shuttle buses to be rolled out by the governor.
