U/E: Motorbikes, 3-wheeled Vehicles Banned in Binduri
The Minister for Interior, Muntaka Mubarak has banned the use of motorbikes and all three-wheeled vehicles in Binduri in the Upper East Region.
This was contained in a statement announcing a review of curfew on the town and its environs to twelve hours from 6 pm to 6 am.
“The movement of motorbikes, tricycles, ‘aboboyaa’, and the like are banned for both men and women.”
He warned that persons who go against the new regulation will be arrested and prosecuted.
In addition to that, the residents are banned from carrying arms, ammunition, or any offensive weapons; wearing smocks; and carrying arms or ammunition.
“Government urges Chiefs, Elders, Opinion Leaders, Youth, and people of the area to exercise restraint in the face of the challenges confronting them as well as to use non-violent means to channel their energies into ensuring peace in the area,” it added.

The two were shot dead at Poyameirea in Binduri in the Upper East Region.
