The police road blocks in Lagos is so annoying. And according to this press release signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, the ban on the road blocks is still in force. Guess the police officers we see on the roads didn't get the memo. Find the press release below..
The Inspector-General of Police, Acting IGP Suleiman
Abba, has stated unequivocally that the order banning
the setting up of Police road-blocks nationwide is still strictly in force. In
a directive issued to all Commands and Formations of the Force, the IGP warned
that all semblances of Police road-blocks and permanent check-points reportedly
re-emerging in some parts of the country, especially in the South-East,
South-South and South-West geo-political zones of Nigeria should immediately be
dismantled.
The IGP who described the trend as a serious
violation of subsisting order on road-blocks warned that severe sanctions await
any Police Commands, Formations and personnel who violate the order.
While charging the Command Commissioners of Police
and Heads of Formations to ensure total compliance with this order, the IGP
further orders extensive visibility patrol and effective surveillance on our
roads.
Really? IG, so how are they going to make their N50/minute? Bunch of criminals!

ReplyDeleteThis will be a dream come true. I was thinking about this same issue 2 days ago because Nigerian's are at risk with these policemen on our roads. Some of them even wear mufti outfit (with an assault rifle) and claim they are on a covert operation, when asked. I also wonder why these policemen have to carry those big guns and display to everyone like Nigeria is at war.
ReplyDeletePlease these checkpoints/roadblocks and carrying of assault rifles need to stop because all they do is harass and beg people for money. The ones on my street will beg saying "bros help us, nah suffer we dey suffer for here o" .
Some policemen get drunk or pretend to be drunk with their guns to enable them exploit civilians easily. The one that cracked my ribs; my friend went to computer village to buy a desktop computer, a policeman stopped him while heading back to school and asked him for the receipt. He then requested to see the RAM after seeing 2GB RAM on the receipt. Hin think say nah Ram for Sallah!
LOL..
DeleteGood 4 them. #####QUEEBMAYA#####
ReplyDeleteThen y do I still see them here on fadeyi, off morocco road near first bank unlawfully stopping vehicles? Where can citizens file a report?
ReplyDeleteActing IG, ao den go pay der children sch fees n buy dem books now as sch go resume soonest n Ileya too don dey corner, dey must 2 buy aso-ileya n do fine boy 4 town now, #lolz#, abeg make 2-3 officers a scapegoat n odas wl sit up

ReplyDeleteNA SO WE DEY HEAR, ABEG NEXT!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen they are on targets placed on them by their DPOs. How will they break even nah? A beg they should station more of their men on the Lagos state roads. People going to work especially in the early mornings always run the risk of being attacked by hooligans. Abeg Lagos CP, help us mount your men in these traffic prone areas in Lagos here, like you have done on 3rd mainland bridge. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteOne bad thing about Nigerians is that we are good abusers of everything. Ordinarily, police checkpoints ought to be used for stop-and-search operations thereby reducing d penatration of Boko Haram into southern Nigerian but it has been abused. We still need police checkpoints, pls.
ReplyDeleteFIRST TO COMMENT***(GURU) we have heard.
ReplyDeleteThank God for this memo...
ReplyDeleteStory. Like say dem no dey send returns to your office. Greedy leeches.

ReplyDeleteNo matter how bad they are they are still relevant and necessary on the nigerian road.
ReplyDeleteThey are still in Awka o, causing hold up everywhere
ReplyDeleteEspecially those ones on Sheraton link road off mobolaji bank Anthony way...ikeja. They do their road block on both sides
ReplyDeleteLinda thank you so much for posting this! You are really an agent of change in Nigeria... The IGP is a sensible man. These police officers on the road blocks are armed robbers in broad day light exploiting poor citizens!

ReplyDelete9ja go better, if this police road block can stop. Not that the police road block per say is bad but the way this police people are taking it or go about it is bad, police have turn the road to an office
ReplyDeleteWho do we call when we see any?
ReplyDeleteImo state is the worst.they are after money and notting else. We need a number to contact the AIG when ever we see them on the road collecting money.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to their road blocks in Maiduguri,Bauchi,Adamawa and other northern parts of Nigeria ? I wonder what the thieves are doing mounting road blocks in the peaceful East instead of the chaotic north.
ReplyDeletePolice is the highest criminal we have in Nigeria... they are deadly, barbaric...they can do unspeakable things weird..Scheisse
ReplyDeleteThank you new IG for restating the ban, Good riddance to bad rubbish.
ReplyDeleteGood move coz it will cease frequent accidents and unnecessary traffic on the road.
ReplyDeletethis guy of an I.G needs to call his thieving boys to order its annoying each time they pull me over for tint permit and i end up sorting them even with tint permit ikeja and environs the worst they go crazy there they will just block the road morning noon and night collecting shandi thunder fire dem
ReplyDeleteSleeep ooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteSleeeeep oooooooooo
ReplyDeleteI hope they will obey the order of IG. Come to South East, they fill the road, collecting their normal N50. IG should please take this serious and stop his boys harassing and collecting money from motorist in name of security, meanwhile if any thief near their post, they will just disappear.
