" Police in Nigeria have arrested motorcyle taxi riders attempting to dodge a new law requiring them to wear helmets. The drivers have been complaining that helmets are too expensive, with some wearing safety hats fashioned from calabash fruit to avoid punishment. &amp;quot;They use pots, plates, calabashes, rubber and plastic as makeshift helmets,&amp;quot; Yusuf Garba, commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission in the northern town of Kano, told Reuters. Garba added that the law came in on January 1 and motorists should be following it by now. &amp;quot;We will not tolerate this. We gave them enough time to purchase helmets,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Six months ago the price of helmets was below 800 naira (\u00C2\u00A33.75) so complaints about non-availability and high prices are no excuse.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
