Police restrict tricycles’ movement in Rivers

 

Rivers State Police Command has reaffirmed restrictions on the movement of tricycles from 10:00 p.m. following rising cases of ‘one chance’ crime across the state.

The command’s spokesperson, ASP Blessing Agabe, told journalists in Port Harcourt on Sunday that the police was committed to combating the menace.

Agabe said the directive, issued by the Commissioner of Police in Rivers, CP Olugbenga Adepoju, was in line with efforts to tackle “one-chance” abductions, robberies, and other violent crimes.

“Residents are reminded that the existing restrictions on the movement of tricycles from 10:00 p.m. remain fully in force across the state.

“Operators and owners of tricycles are expected to comply strictly with the restriction, while violators will face arrest and prosecution,” she said.
