Police checkpoints in Nigeria do little to nothing to stop crime. If they were so effective why wouldn't they be useful in catching bandits and kidnap victims. The police department just set up checkpoints to collect bribes. Police man power would be better used going on patrol or investigating real crimes. The squeeze isnt worth the juice in regards to the checkpoints.

Nigerians should ponder is there statistically less crime per capita in places with more checkpoints? What sort of offenders are usually caught. Has crime reduced as a result of increased check points or some other factor? Lastly have you witnessed someone get arrested at a police checkpoints?

That will be in the next generation

I've passed by a few dozen I've never seen one person get arrested. The only criminal I see is cop extorting drivers out money. If they do catch anyone once in a blue moon it would be a smuggler, drug dealer or someone with vehicle papers. The latter can bribe their way out of a ticket. I cant recall news reports saying police catch kidnapper or gun dealers at checkpoint.

Are you saying you haven't seen it before after crossing hundreds or thousands in your lifetime?

Can you affirm your state and local institutions dont behave the same way?

Lol thats means you haven't seen one either. Honestly if these idiotic check points were done away with the crime rate should be similar. Lol it's not like it does much to stop bandits and other violent crimes.

They search boot and vehicles for guns and weapons, checkpoints can help deter criminals movement.

Why are you struggling to answer a yes or no question ? You don't need to be Omni present be witness an arrest especially if you passed by hundreds over the course of your life. I've witnessed police collecting bribes but no arrest at checkpoints without any such powers.

Bump ugm attack checkpoints now. These things aren't even safe for cops it seems.
