The Edo State Government has announced the immediate proscription of the state’s chapter of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN).
The association has been ordered to close their offices across the state.
A statement issued by the state government explained that the ban became necessary to ensure the protection of lives and property and prevent the possible breakdown of law and order in the state.
The government assured all law abiding citizens that security agencies will be available to maintain peace and orderliness, and urged the public to desist from relating or transacting any business with the group until further information is provided by the state government.
