The management of the Yobe State Road Traffic Agency (YOROTA) has warned residents of Damaturu, the state capital, against boarding unregistered taxis at night.
The state road regulatory agency, in a statement posted on its verified Facebook page on Saturday, gave the warning following a report received by its operatives on a suspected criminal operating taxi service at night to rob unsuspecting members of the public.
The agency posted, “Report just reached us of a suspected criminal operating taxi service this night”.
