Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has signed an executive order restricting the operation of motorcycles across the state between 10:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. as part of new measures aimed at addressing growing security concerns.
The directive comes in the wake of the abduction of teachers and schoolchildren in the state, a development that has attracted public attention and renewed calls for stronger security interventions.
The governor announced the restriction while reaffirming his administration’s determination to secure the safe release of the victims and improve safety across affected communities.
According to the state government, the restriction on nighttime motorcycle operations is intended to limit the movement of criminal elements who often use motorcycles to carry out attacks and transport victims through difficult terrains.
Security analysts and residents have long expressed concerns about the use of motorcycles in rural and forested areas where kidnappers and other criminal groups operate.
