“Others are using motorbikes and are always in the company of three at night. If you find them, arrest them. If you see three people on a motorbike at night, they are not genuine boda boda operators.”
Police officers rushed to the scene where they dispersed the youths who were willing to do what it takes to show how irritated they were.
