While condemning the incident that led to the ban, he said it should have since been lifted to ease the pains of the helpless masses, who did not have private vehicles to undertake their activities after 7pm. He further said the group had received reports of many Bayelsans attacked and robbed by criminal elements while trekking on dark, lonely roads and streets at night to their destinations.
