The residents, particularly women, are calling for their husbands to be allowed and permitted to go about their daily activities on and with their motorbikes. Addressing a crowd of women and children, madam Sulemana Jemilatu Frinjei, said banning men from ridding motorbikes was not the right move by the security council. “If our husbands and men are banned from ridding and going about their daily activities with their motorbikes, it only means we have limited time to survive,” she said. They have therefore called on government to deploy more security personnel to Chereponi to be able to patrol the entire district.
