Delta Police Bans KeKe Operations Beyond 10pm in Asaba

The Delta State Police Command has announced the ban on Tricycle Transportation, popularly known as Keke Napep, beyond the hours of 10:00pm in Asaba.

In a press statement by the command, signed by ASP Chuks Orisewezie, ASABA METRO understands that the ban was to checkmate the increasing crime rate in the State capital in recent times.
