The commissioner urged tricycle operators to comply and stop operating at the stipulated time, noting that security agents would enforce the ban without compromise.

Most states in the North-West are facing security challenges which Kano State started witnessing in villages.

The Star recalls that in 2014, the Kano State Government also banned motorcycle operations due to Boko Haram activities in the state.
