Sapele LGA Gives New Directives to Okada and Keke Riders

Post created on 12:44 pm

‎
‎A new guide on how tricycles (Keke) and motorcycles (Okada) will operate in Sapele Local Government has been shared by the Council Secretary to curb crimes and ensure the safety of all.
‎
‎On Tuesday, the statement, which was made available to newsmen in Warri, was signed by Hon. Raymond Overah. It stated that 30 days from the notification, all commercial Keke and Okada riders in Sapele must stop the use of face masks or get ready to be arrested, with the operational time for Keke set from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, while Okada is from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm.
‎
‎The statement also stressed the compulsory use of reflective vests and a written area code number, urging passengers not to enter any Keke without a valid and visible VIO number. During rainfall, the Keke cover should be properly tied.
‎
‎The council warned that any okada or keke operator arrested for violating the directives shall be detained for seven days, while the act of theft at ATP premises from any unions, operators, or even residents will not be tolerated, as any defaulter will be shot on sight.
