Nigerians react to reports of ban on Tricycles 'Keke' in Abuja



 

Nigerians react to reports of ban on Tricycles

Angry Nigerians have condemned the reported ban of Tricycles 'Keke' in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.

 

Earlier today (Nov.12), residents were thrown into confusion as they trekked long distances to get to their workplaces due to the sudden ban on commercial Tricycle operators. 

 

While the Federal Government is yet to release a statement regarding the ban, the National President of Tricycle Owners Association, Austin Apeh, and Chairman, Welfare Enforce Enforcement in FCT, Thomas Danjuma, confirmed the ban while speaking to journalists during a protest by Tricycle operators.

 

They also claimed that mass arrests are being made to detain whoever fails to comply with the sudden restriction order.

 

See how Nigerians are reacting on Twitter below.

The situation is terrible o. Karimu market was free today. No traffic. Even the situation fear me. In the mean time, I don't think its a very wise move. As annoying and as damaging as keke riders can be most especially to other road users, this Keke was the leg of many people. Both the riders and passengers are not finding this situation easy at all. The situation needs to be readdressed.

In Nigeria, anything that has an advantage has a disadvantage as well. So, choose wisely before u implement laws

In a civilized country before you ban anything you must make sure there's alternative..For example the Toronto public transportation was going on strike 15 years ago ..government provided something for commuters to commute to their different destinations Nigeria grow up

The ban of this nuisance is the best news I have received. You might think my comment is insensitive but wait till you drive with these lawless bunch! I have to leave my house before 6:30 everyday so I can avoid them and save myself frustration and high blood pressure. There was a time we were doing well without keke. Taxi drivers still exist, okada riders in unrestricted places will serve for now.

Misplaced priority by the government, alternative measures should have been put in place to help cushion the effect of the untold hardship that will befall the drivers.the crime rate will definitely increase and innocent hard working Nigerians will be at the receiving end and not the clueless leaders who made this irrational decision because they are living in their mansions

With what I experienced today, good riddance to bad rubbish. I stopped my car on the road for a young lady to cross, the keke also stopped and changed his mind mid way. He tried to maneuver a bad portion of the road to get through and knocked the young girl flat on the ground. I moved off the road and parked to find the girl unconscious only for the foolish bastard to say it’s her destiny. Thank God there were bystanders there, I could have burnt him down. How do you hit someone flat with blood gushing from her head and ears and think it’s her destiny and not your stupidity. Perhaps you think I speak from a place of privilege, I don’t. The menace these guys cause far outweighs the benefit the offer in my opinion. good riddance.

My problem with our government is that they are always proactive to obvious menaces. What our population requires is mass transit buses.

Hmmmmmmm! How come keke is operating in Abuja a whole Nigeria capital Territory? Keke don't operate in owerri , just imo state here talkless of Abuja! I think they should have proffer solutions like bringing in more taxi before the ban so that people will not suffer much .

As much as Keke drivers have been a cause for concern as they are ignored by law enforcement agents cos of settlement, you can’t stop a source of income and transportation without putting something else in place.
