A group, Wake-Wake Association, has urged Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State to consider lifting the curfew imposed on tricycle operators in Jalingo, the state capital.<\/p>\n

The state government recently directed tricycle operators to stop operating from 8pm to 6am daily due to the insecurity bedevilling the state capital.<\/p>\n

The group urged the government to consider lifting the ban following the forthcoming holy month of Ramadan commencing on Monday.<\/p>\n

Signed by its chairman, Umar Sani Bello, the group highlighted the challenges posed by the curfew on tricycle operators in the state capital.<\/p>\n

They emphasized that the restriction severely impedes the movement of people, particularly during essential religious activities such as Tafsir (Quranic exegesis) and Tahajjudi (Night prayers).<\/p>\n

Explaining further, Bello noted that Tafsir sessions often extend late into the evening, with some starting as late as 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm.<\/p>\n

He said Tahajjudi prayers, occurring during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, typically take place between 12:30 am and 4:00 am, adding that the current curfew limits access to mosques and impedes their attendance at these significant gatherings.<\/p>\n

The group, through Bello, stressed the necessity of unrestricted movement, particularly during the late evening and early morning hours, to enable individuals to fulfil their religious obligations without hindrance.<\/p>\n

They expressed confidence that Governor Kefas would consider the plight of the Muslim community and take swift action to lift the curfew on tricycle operators during Ramadan.<\/p>\n
