He said that the Army was working hand in hand with the Governors who are the Chief Security Officers of the states in the zones.
“I can assure you that the decision to ban the use motor cycles was taken in collaboration with the Governors who are the Chief Security Officers of the states.
“We do not have to politicise the issue of security, any measure take o secure lives and property of Nigerians is a welcome development, he said.
