The senior Divisional Officer for Wouri says the decision is to preserve public order in the city of Douala.
Bertrand Mache adds that, defaulters will face the law.There have been questions why the decision has not placed similar embargo in the entire city of Douala where accidents are reoccurent.

Many question how effective the ban will be as similar decisions in the past have ended in a fiasco.
