In a significant development for the Gombe State community, the local police have announced an extension to the motorcycle movement restrictions during Ramadan, now allowing operations until 11 PM. This decision, articulated by the Police Public Relations Officer DSP Buhari Abdullahi, follows extensive security consultations, indicating a proactive approach to balance safety while accommodating the needs of a community engaged in heightened social and religious activities.

The police's decision comes as a response to the increased religious observance and communal engagements that characterize the holy month of Ramadan. The extension not only targets the spiritual aspect during this period but also aims to facilitate social activities that often accompany Ramadan and celebrations that follow. By allowing motorcycles to operate for four additional hours, the police aim to support community engagement while still ensuring security measures are in place.

Commissioner of Police Umar Chuso reassured the public about the Command's dedication to maintaining peace and order. He emphasized that the relaxation of restrictions does not compromise the police's commitment to protecting lives and property, illustrating a dual focus on security and community facilitation during a significant time for many residents of Gombe State.
