Adamawa state government has issued directive to all operators of illegal motor parks in Jimeta-Yola, to shut down their facilities without further delay or face prosecution.
The directive was handed down by the State Commissioner for Transport Development, Hon. Wunfe Anthony, while speaking to journalists on Monday.
She warned that anyone found operating an illegal motor park would face the full wrath of the law.
“Operators of the illegal parks must cease operations immediately and register with recognised and authorised motor parks to enable government to address security concerns effectively,
“Security reports available to the ministry indicated that criminals were taking advantage of the porous nature of illegal motor parks to victimise unsuspecting members of the public,” Anthony said.
She also disclosed that the state government was planning to construct a central motor park in the state.
