A minister in Nigeria in charge if the capital, Abuja, has banned “okada” motorbikes citing high accidents rates and being used as getaway vehicles in armed robberies across the city. At the last minute, an extra 150 buses were made available on Abuja's streets, but the public transport system is struggling to cope with the extra demand and fares have almost doubled. Prince Ngige, 26, who says he is the secretary of a branch of the okada drivers' union accuses the government of being insensitive and says, “In the next three or four days, the rate of crime will increase because you know that an idle mind is the devil's workshop.”
