The Lokoja -Ajaokuta - Itobe Road is one of the most important Roads in Nigeria,apart from the fact that it leads Road users to the Itobe Bridge which leads travellers across the mixed confluence waters of rivers Niger and Benue, it is also the Major Link between the Northern part of the Country and the South.

Due to the movements of heavy duty vehicles and neglect by past administrations the Ajaokuta - Itobe Axis is almost nearly un-motorable during the rainy season .
The intervention by the Jonathan administration has transformed the axis into a construction zone further slowing down the speed at which vehicles move .
The Nigerian Customs Service whose primary Duty on Roads is to track smugglers and Economic Saboteurs has taken advantage of this situation hounding travellers , impounding their vehicles and extorting Huge sums of Money from them.
Travelling Families who could not afford to pay on the spot are given a map to trace the nearest ATM or terminate the Journey at the customs office in Lokoja .

On Wednesday,11th of Dec these Gang of Customs Officers ,without Name tags or Proper Uniforms continued their extortion spree stopping Vehicles at will and demanding all sorts of Irrelevant Papers, even those with complete Customs papers were told the papers were fake and asked to ''settle" to Dr Eze and his Family that wednesday was a day they will forever live to remember.
Travelling with His Wife and One month old Baby he was asked to produce =N= 30,000 or have his vehicle impounded,such is the impunity that exist on that road that.
The Customs Authorities and the ministry of Finance must bring an end to this reign of impunity.
Officers on duty should be Compelled wear Full uniforms with Name Tags ,and unless the service do something drastic with respect to the conduct of their officers in the next few days there might be blood shed along that Road as we approach christmas .

Ordinarily I would not have responded to you but for the Fact that Many people will. Read this thread and may be take your word as facts

Must we blame GEJ for everything ,What I am doing is fulfilling my duty as a citizen of Nigeria ,reporting any activity that will bring untold hardship to fellow citizens and the Nation to disrepute is a civic responsibility.

I am not a hypocrite like the e-rats, e-lizards and the e-leeches on Nairaland who lack the ability to objectively respond to a topic .

No president ,I repeat ,No president has done as much as GEJ is doing despite the Manufactured bokoharam that has compelled him to spend a huge chunk of the budget on security .
The man will Succeed ,and come 2014 all his enemies will have no choice but to surrender

GOD BLESS THE PRESIDENT

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

I think you must be really stupi.d to not see that the same retardeen GEJ who is in charge of the custom and who you support is the same you are complaining about his employees! If you had enough brain, you'd go to Aso Rock to go and lick his arse!

oga, you need to check your B.P o

Mind you, don't forget to call your "people" in customs to order.. They should repent and stop the fraudulent businesses. I'm sure there are people from your village working for the Nigerian Customs. Hold a meeting and warn them...

At the end, bad boys would only waste the lives of these crooks in uniform if they fail to repent..

and guess what? GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN go collect December Salary
