Wale busari03 mins

The Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State has announced new regulations for commercial motorcycle (okada) and tricycle (keke) operators, including a ban on the use of face masks while on duty. In a statement signed by the council’s secretary, Hon. Raymond Overah, and released to journalists in Warri on Tuesday, October 2, the council said the new measures were designed to improve security, maintain order, and enhance transportation management across the area. According to the directive, which will take effect in 30 days, okada riders are now restricted to operating between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. daily and must wear reflective vests displaying a clearly written Area Code Number. “Any okada rider found wearing a face mask while on duty shall be arrested immediately,” the statement read. For tricycle operators, the new rules permit operations from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. All tricycles must display a visible and valid Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) Number, and no passenger is allowed to board one without it. The council also directed that keke covers must be properly tied, particularly during rainfall. Violators of these regulations, the statement warned, risk a seven-day detention. It also included a stern security caution, stating that anyone caught stealing within the ATP premises “shall be shot on sight.” The council urged all transport unions, riders, and residents to fully comply with the new measures to ensure the safety and orderliness of Sapele. Meanwhile, in a related development, the Delta State Police Command confirmed the arrest of four suspected armed robbers and drug peddlers in Asaba. Police spokesperson SP Bright Edafe said the arrests followed a robbery report on October 1, 2025. According to him, the DPO of B Division Asaba, CSP Edewor Akponegware, led a surveillance team to respond swiftly to a distress call from a female victim who was robbed at gunpoint by two men around the BONSAAC area. Edafe added that investigations were ongoing and the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of the inquiry.

Two Delta Air Lines planes have collided on a taxiway at LaGuardia Airport in New York on Wednesday night. A “low-speed collision” took place between one plane arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, and another that was scheduled to depart for Roanoke in Virginia. The crash between Endeavor Air Flight 5047 and Endeavor Flight 5155 – Endeavour is a subsidiary of Delta – took place just before 10 pm Eastern Time, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey told The Independent.   One flight attendant injured her knee in the collision and was later taken to the hospital after being treated by medics at the scene, according to the Port Authority. The pilot of 5047 radioed the ground controller in audio, which was recorded by the website LiveATC.net, according to CNN. “We have two CRJs on (taxiway) M that collided. Their right wing clipped our nose and the cockpit wind screens.”   “Delta will work with all relevant authorities to review what occurred, as the safety of our customers and people comes before all else. We apologize to our customers for the experience,” Delta said. The Federal Aviation Administration has told The Independent that it is investigating the incident.   There were 32 people on board Flight 5155, including 28 passengers and four crewmembers, while Flight 5047 contained 61 people, including 57 passengers and four crewmembers.   A video published by CBS shows a pilot telling passengers over the intercom that it “seems as though there’s an aircraft that collided with us”. “There was no impact to airport operations,” the Port Authority told other outlets. Delta Air Lines said in a statement to other outlets: “Delta teams at our New York-LaGuardia hub are working to ensure our customers are taken care of after two Delta Connection aircraft operated by Endeavor Air were involved in a low-speed collision during taxi.
