The Anambra State Government has proscribed the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN) from operating statewide.
Mr Uchenna Okafor, the Commissioner for Transport, in a statement, said the ban became necessary following ceaseless negative reports over activities of the association in the state.
The commissioner warned that any person or group operating on the guise of tricycle operators would be dealt with.
He said, “TOAN is strange to Anambra State Government, the group operate in disguise and in very negative circumstances.
