The Kano State government yesterday banned commercial motorcyclists, otherwise known as Okada in the ancient commercial city, the BBC Hausa Service has reported.
It would be recalled that the Kano State government had earlier issued a statement banning the commercial motorcycle riders from carrying more than a passenger on their motorcycles which is expected to take effect from tomorrow, Thursday.

According to BBC, there are more than two million commercial motorcycles operating on a daily basis in Kano been the most populated state in the North.
