Insecurity is about the biggest challenge facing the Nigeria of today, that is not to say education, health, and other germane sectors are less important and unconventionally, bad roads all across Nigeria have been an unsolicited tool in the hands of daredevils that have ruptured our fragile unity. But insecurity has hampered the growth is all other sectors of the country. Insecurity as a compound name for sleeping with your two eyes opened may not drive the point home, but kidnapping, banditry, herdsmen attack, heist, bombing, among others, are debacles that have cornered the smooth running of a nation in this clime.

Osun and Ekiti states, affected roads include Esa-Oke Junction; Iwaraja-Efon Alaaye; Ile-Ife junction; Iloko Junction; Ipetu-Ile – Ilesha; Ilesha-Ile-Oluji; Ilesha -Osogbo, and Ilesha- Akure. See how messy the Nigerian roads have been across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Ondo
Auga Road in Akoko where no fewer than 20 kidnappings have occurred in the last three months. Others roads are Akure- ljare; Akure-Owo- Oba Akoko- Akungba; Oka Akoko – lsua Akoko; lpele- Ido Ani; Ondo-Ore; Ondo-Akure and Akure-Benin.

Oyo
Ilorin-Ogbomoso Road, Atisbo Local Government Area of the state were also found unsafe as a result of kidnapping by suspected herdsmen.

Edo
Upper Sokponba, Ehor axis of the Benin-Auchi Road; Ogbemudia Farm; Okada along Benin –Ore-Lagos Road and Avbiama in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, LGA. In Edo Central, kidnapping is common along Ubiaja-Ewohimi-Agbor Road, while roads across the six LGAs in Edo North regularly record cases of kidnapping by suspected herdsmen.

South-South
Anyone safely passing through the Delta, Bayelsa, and Rivers states axis of the road must count himself lucky. Some of the roads in Rivers State include Emohua-Elele-Alimini axis of the East-West Road; Isiokpo-Elele axis of the Port Harcourt-Owerri Road; Omagwa – Ubima; Isiokpo- Ubima; Elele -Umudioga; Egbeda, Ubima, Omoku, and Elele-Ndele Rumuji-Emuoha-Choba -Port Harcourt roads. Edo-Ogwashi-Otulu-Atuma-Akwukwu-Igbo Road, which used to be a quiet stretch, into a death zone. The same applies to Ebu-Ukala-Onicha-Olona Road. Also, Issele-Uku-Otulu Road and Issele-Uku-Onicha-Olona Roads have become deadly given the activities of kidnappers. Issele-Uku-Ubulu-Uku Road, where kidnappers abducted a royal father and killed him a few years ago, remains an infamous route to ply. Umutu –Urhonigbe-Abavo and Ekuku- Agbor roads are also notorious.

The roads include Okurekpo community road in Ethiope East LGA. The Ode Bridge axis in Ethiope East has become a place where suspected herdsmen kill and rape. On Bomadi-Ohoror Road, the activities of bandits and herdsmen who kill and maim commuters have become worrisome. The road traverses four local government areas of Delta namely Bomadi, Patani, Ughelli South and Ughelli North. Agadama community women told Sunday Vanguard that they were often raped by herdsmen in their farms along Agadama road. Urhonigbe portion of the Agbor-Obiaruku-Abraka-Warri Road was also found to be another area of concern. In addition, it was gathered that herdsmen operate a thriving kidnap network between Umutu, Urhonigbe and Abavo communities.

Jibia – Gurbi – Kaura Namoda Road which links Katsina and Zamfara states is, according to residents the most dreadful.

Kaduna

Other roads specifically identified as territories where abductors carry out their acts are Birnin Gwari-Kaduna Road; Kaduna- Saminaka-Jos Road; Kaduna-Kachia Road; Kagarko-Jere Road; Birinin Gwari-Kagara-Tegina Road; Sarkin Power-Birnin Gwari route; and Minna-Lambata-Diko-Kaduna axis.

Gusau-Magami-Dansadau, Kuceri-Danjibga-Keta-Wanke, Kaura- Namoda -Moriki-Shinkafi, Zurmi-Jibia – Katsina, and Talata Mafara/Tsafe roads unsafe. In Sokoto State, roads in Issa and Rabah LGAs are dangerous as a result of banditry.

Enugu
Enugu-Ugwogo-Nsukka Road; Nsukka-Adani-Onitsha Road; 9th Mile-Nsukka-Makurdi Road; Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, particularly at Ugwu-Onyeama valley; and Enugu-Port Harcourt Road. Kidnapping is yet to abate at Ukpabi-Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani LGA, Ugwu-Onyeama along Enugu-Onitsha Road.

Ebonyi
Enugu-Abakaliki Expressway; Abakaliki-Afikpo Expressway; Amasiri-Okigwe Expressway; Ivo-Oso Edda Road and some roads linking the hinterlands in the state.

Benue, Taraba
The Sankera axis comprising three LGAs, Katsina/Ala, Ukum and Logo LGAs, have had to contend with issues of kidnappings which usually occur on the over 150km stretch of Katsina/Ala – Wukari Road linking Benue and Taraba states.

The only deadly road I know is IBADAN-ISEYIN and vice-versa..........if you want sure miscarriage, travel through that road.

The moment I found Ebonyi on that list, then I knew this report was as useless as the writer.

If that road from Oyo town to Ogbomoso isn’t here then the list is void

[/quote] Who posted this trash here? For you to have mentioned some of those roads in Ebonyi State means you are high on hard drugs. All the Ebonyi State roads you mentioned here are so clean without a single Pothole. Abakaliki-Afikpo Road is a clean tarred road, Amasiri-Okigwe Road has a "Nylon Tar" which was constructed by Former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, his home town is along that road in Ivo LGA. In further display of your ignorance, you mentioned Ivo-Oso Road, which is still part of the Amasiri-Okigwe Road. This is pure trash. Vanguard or whoever posted this trash should always do a thorough research before posting stuff like this.

It's obvious op has not been to mile2 Badagry axis in Lagos.

That has to be the most deadliest road in the world anyways.

Where is Mr. Integrity working

It's not as if the highways in Rivers are that bad, most are smooth as you can get.

It is those stvpid, senseless, useless, frustrated and utterly devilish sons of devil kidnappers. They make even the thought of travelling hellish.

Between Wike and Buhari, one deserve the full blame.

Tell buhari to rehabilitate these 133 roads,even if it's his only achievement as military and civilian president.

Every road in Nigeria are dead trap... Na only baba God the save us daily.

Buhari Next Level; no federal road have benn work on since his 2nd term kick off. That old man is slow like a snail.

ok

Which 133, all the roads in Nigeria are deadly.

Sad.

Oyo To Iseyin and vice versa...uhmmm!
