The Operation Safe Haven Plateau State has Banned
the use of Commercial Tricycles popularly known as
Keke Napep within the Jos metropolis from the
Hours of 9pm to 5am Daily starting from Friday
26th August, 2016.

The commander Operation Safe Haven, Major
General Ri Nicholas, said the command will ensure
complete compliance of the ban and has effectively
communicated this to the leaders of the tricycle
users to also inform their members and make them
comply.
He futher said this was eminent following security
reports that there was inflows of strangers into the
state of people suspected to be Boko Haram
members as some of the Keke riders don't even know
essential routs in the state and most of those who
use commercial tricycle late at night are doing so as
a means to commit various crimes.
The Major General said this was a proactive measure
to protect a large number of the public.
Most residents in Jos, Plateau State said this new
development will pose hard times as they now have
to close businesses early because 'keke Napep' has
been the major means of transportation within Jos
and environs. You will recall that the government of
the past administration has earlier banned the use of
motor cycle(Okada) within the 'Grater Jos Master
Plan' and this has been in effect ever since, bringing
to the use of Commercial Tricycle popularly known as
keke napep within the city.
