As the Federal Government declares January 1st and 2nd 2015 as
public holidays to commemorate the New Year Celebration and Eid-el Moulud, the 7 Division of Nigerian Army has imposed a total ban on vehicular movement within its Area of Responsibility from 6.00am on Thursday, 1st January 2015 to 6.00pm on Friday 2nd January 2015.
In a Press Release signed by the Spokesperson of the Division, Colonel Sani Usman, the military said the directive implied that movement by animals (horses), bicycles, motorcycles, tricycles and motor vehicles are totally banned in the State during the specified period.
The restriction, it stated, was informed by the need to ensure adequate protection of lives and property of law abiding citizens of Borno State throughout the period.
Colonel Usman also urged the public to report any suspicious movement of persons or vehicles around their environments to the nearest security agencies.
