The Niger State Police command has announced that a total of 56 tricycles and 94 motorcycles have been confiscated since the application of the movement restriction of the 6 PM at 6 am for tricycles and motorcycles on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 began.
The command announced this in a statement on updates on the application, issued by the Public Relations officer, SP Wasiu Abiodun, in Minna.
Abiodun declared that until now, the step taken by the government of the state of Niger is eradicating the telephone outburst and other robberies in the Minna metropolis.
He explained that, although private motorcycles are exempt, the owners must provide adequate identification and a valid reason to leave during the restricted hours to avoid the reservoir.
“It is very important to keep in mind that even when private motorcycles are exempt, we have seen some people who wear Jincheng motorcycles to participate in skeletal commercial activities at night. Therefore, any private motorcycle owners who cannot provide a satisfactory account of themselves, with an adequate identification as personnel of an organization, coming from the work or for any other important reason, can have its vehicle.
The command urged motorcyclists and tricyclists to be respectful of the law pending more directives of the state government, since the temporal measure is producing positive results.
“This is because the measure is eradicating the grip of the phone and other robberies in the Minna metropolis.
“Thank you for your usual understanding, and we will continue to update the members of the public as we advance,” the statement added.
