2 Okada Riders Jailed In Enugu For Violating Ban

TWO motorcyclists in Enugu State were Thursday sentenced to one year imprisonment each without option of fine for violating the new law banning the operation of motorcycles in the state capital.

Those convicted by an Enugu Magistrate Court presided over by Mrs Ebele Udeze after pleading guilty of the offence were Friday Ucha and Jonathan Eneje.

But, another accused person, Gabriel Ogbonna who was also arrested by the police yesterday for the same offence pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of N100,000 and a surety who must be a civil servant of not less than Grade Level 16 among other conditions.
