Ondo bans late-night okada operations, clubbing after midnight

The Ondo state government has banned late-night motorcycle operations and club activities beyond midnight.

The state government has also prohibited the use of vehicles with tinted glasses without a permit.

Akogun Ade Adeleye, the special adviser to the governor on security matters, announced the development in a statement on Tuesday.

He said the move became pertinent in a bid to rid the state of criminal elements.

“In furtherance of the current administration’s efforts to rid the state of criminally-minded persons or groups, law enforcement agencies are to resume enforcement on the ban on motorcycle operations outside 6am-6pm, night club activities beyond 12 midnight, use of vehicles with tinted glasses without permit, unregistered vehicles, use of sticker number plates in lieu of car dealership approved stickers,” the statement reads.

“Accordingly, all security agencies are hereby enjoined to impound all such motorcycles and vehicles while the owners or riders would be prosecuted.

“The Government of Ondo State encourages all vehicle and motorcycle owners to register their vehicles/motorcycles as defaulters would be made to face the full wrath of the law accordingly.

“The determination of the administration of Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, to ensure the protection of lives and property of the good people of Ondo State remains a top priority.”
