Despite the ban, THE WHISTLER reported on Wednesday that some operators were still issuing tickets to Keke riders in Awka.
Their arrest was announced by the state police public relations officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga.
Ikenga quoted the state commissioner of police, CP Echeng Echeng, as saying that the arrest was part of the efforts to rid Anambra State of all manner of crimes and criminalities.
The CP, while reiterating the commitment of the command towards weeding out all criminal elements in the state, enjoined all law-abiding citizens to remain vigilant and continue to support the command, especially through prompt and accurate information, the PPRO said.
