Nigeria considers ban on use of motorbikes

Nigeria is considering a nationwide ban on motorbikes in a last-ditch attempt to tackle the terrorists who use the vehicles during their operations in several parts of the country.

Motorbikes are reportedly being used by armed jihadists as they raid villages and towns across northern Nigeria, killing civilians and taking hostages.

The government is also considering a ban on mining, which is being used to illegally finance terrorist groups such as Boko Haram.
