2009 January 7, Mike Oboh, “Nigerian bikers wear fruit shells to avoid helmet law”, in Reuters[1]:"We will not tolerate this. We gave them enough time to purchase helmets. Six months ago the price of helmets was below 800 naira so complaints about non-availability and high prices are no excuse," he told Reuters.
