I know this man. he was in Akwa Ibom and he performed excellently well. Sir, I hope you have not changed. I pray for God's guidance for you to completely reform the Police force and restore dignity coupled with effective interpersonal relations between the Police and entire citizens of this great Country. I DECREE GOD'S WISDOM UPON YOUR LIFE IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

most times, the road blocks help. I remember around 2010 when the IGP then banned road block, that Aba PH expressway was overtaken by Osisikankwu, his kidnappers and robbers especially around Ngwaiyiekwe. To the extent that one had to go through OwErri if he wants to go to Aba from PH
If they are there to work he is not saying they should not patrol or park by the road they can do that without stopping anyone to check papers. There is a proper way to police the motorway

Good one, but they should have a whatsapp number or BlackBerry number where we can drop them a hint of where we pick the road blocks ourselves. I think we need to do work of policing together.

Maybe this is for other parts,Enugu i am sure will never change.A drive through the areas controlled by the men of Uwani Police station and Ikirike Police Station would shock a new comer.Some of us are already used it.It only hurts that my kids are beginning to appreciate the transactions they observe between these officers and bus or keke drivers. Oga IG,tell it to the marines

Is it just me, or is Nairaland really boring these days?

I think it's you! What I'm seeing on home page these days are educative, informative and entertaining. For instance a thread like this.


@Topic, I hope this last long because that checking point is nothing but a point of corruption as the IG puts it. grin

They've never disturbed armed robbery. Armed robbers operate on Lagos-Abuja express road on a daily basis and yet we have thousands of road check-points in those places.

"While visible policing will be enhanced, I wish to in clear terms, re-emphasise that police road blocks remain banned. They are public nuisance, point of corruption, and source of police-citizens' frictions. The Commissioners of Police, Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers in whose jurisdiction illegal road blocks are detected will be personally or vicariously held liable and strict and swift disciplinary actions will be initiated against such officers." - Ag. IGP Solomon Arase, NPM, fdc

This doesn't change anything.

I saw them at Sheraton link road tonight. They are always there. Mostly, from Friday-Sunday to siphon those who are going out to have fun.

Police?
Police men?
Just today at ...Police station in Lagos,we approached the DPO he gave order to the IPO to release our client the suspect,when he left the office the DCO came to work,we went and told him about the order given but b/c of bail money refusal came in,when the DPO was contacted on phone,he asked us to settle with them.

Without prejudice the above assertion was made.

I pray that the big oga will give the signal to his men,not to ask us to settle with them,that he has given order.

Long live NPF
Long live FRN

@ Ag IGP Arase


The problem is not the roadblocks but some of your corrupt men in uniform and indiscipline. It is a fact that the presence of Police on roadblock is directly inversely related to number of highway robberies. The Police - Citizen Friction is result of indiscipline and corruption in the Police force. If the Police remains in the neighborhood, harrasing citizens with bribe collection then you only moved the issue from highway to cities/homes leading to worse frictions. Rather empower citizens to document and report these misdeeds to a designated committee or body and a transparent investigation done and disciplinary actions follows to remove these bad elements.. Driving through military roadblocks a yr ago then a police roadblock you can see the difference in demeanor and expectations ...it is like night and day.

So Mr IGP keep our NPF on roads but change it to highway patrol teams. Notice same on the roads in US & Europe. ( Combined military/police) Roadblocks on all major entrance/exit roads from a city works ( check out Enugu) .Please equip your men to respond to distress calls of robbery and pay them on time so they dont collect bribe then apply zero-tolerance to bribe collection ---Pls do not expose citizens to this hoodlums without a formidable protection plan in place . Police to reduce crime but not harrass innocent citizens-----Wind of Change is in town!!!!

They can be along the highways as Highway Patrol, but stopping commuters on the road gives many of them the opportunity to behave worse than armed robbers.

One of the worst places is the Okene axis.

Can such ban be extended to Onitsha- Enugu Bad expressway?

Can someone tell the acting IGP that his commandments are not being followed please! All he need to do is travel on Abuja-Kaduna Express in the night. His boys on the road are uncountable! Their aim is to collect egunje from travellers, nothing more

The robbers were just cashing-in on the anormaly of the system.
If there had been no check point anywhere in Nigeria before the advent of kindnapping, do you think kidnappers will be bold enough to start manning a road block.
They saw a leak/weakness in the system and they play on it.
