In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Emmanuel Ogbeche, the governor said the decision was taken after consultation with Security Chiefs in the state.

“A total ban on the activities of all commercial motorcyclists within the Calabar metropolis.

“Those willing to use their motorcycles to earn a decent living are restricted only to remote areas away from the city centre.

“Anyone caught going against this directive will have the motorcycle impounded and the offender prosecuted,” the statement reads partly.
