I Thought They Said No More Checkpoint? New Checkpoint In Victoria Island by VaselineCrew: 10:33am On Jun 23, 2021
On the road converted to one-way at sandfill, four-point area in victoria island, police have now formed checkpoint at night.

I think they do this, cause they know that traffic must now flow through them (due to the new one-way), so they take advantage of the new layout.

They were told to embrace patrols which they seem to have been doing in the day time, as they stop one way drivers with their police vehicles while patrolling, but it seems at night, they want to turn into something else.

I was shocked when I had to pass there recently at night. About 6 policemen all on foot, shining torchlights were at the sandfill junction, blocking both the left (used to go towards fourpoint) and the right (used to go to ozumba and lekki epe expressway). It was quiet nerve raking to reach the junction and be bombarded by so many flash lights.

If they claim they are doing this for security, then it would be better to stick to patrols as they can give chase and respond faster with vehicles as opposed to stashing so many police officers on foot at only one junction.

Permanent checkpoints got banned but ocassional checkpoints are still available

If you report a case of stolen vehicle, kidnapp or roberry at a police station, the DCO can radio other divisions to mount roadblock and help identify your car and the assailants
