The Zamfara State Government has banned the night movement of motorcycles

The Zamfara State Government has banned  the  night movement of motorcycles from 6pm to 6am  as  insecurity  grips  the entire state.

  This  is  contained in a press  release  issued by the Senior Special Adviser on  Mass  Media  (Broadcasting),  Jaafaru Mustapha Kaura, and made available to  journalists  in Gusau, the state capital.
 
  According to the statement, Governor Dauda Lawal said  the measure was taken at the security meeting held at the Government  House,  Gusau.
 
  The statement further  said  that the governor expressed dismay  at  the  ongoing  bandit  activities in the  state  and  stated  that his administration  was  implementing  impressive  strategies to  tackle  the  problem  of  insecurity  in the state.
 
  He, however, commended the military and security agencies for their efforts in  the  fight  against  bandits  and  urged  them to redouble their efforts.
 
  Recall that the  former  governor of the state, now  minister, Bello Mohammed,  during his  administration,  had  banned  motorcyclists  from  riding  at  night  but  this  did  not  yield  any  positive  results.
 
  The former governor also shut down telecommunication networks across the state  in  an  attempt  to  stop  the  situation  but nothing  went  as expected.
