The police road
block in Lagos is so annoying. And according to 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.
