THE new Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Mr. Ikechukwu Ayodele Aduba, yesterday ordered his officers and men to return and start patrol of highways, noting that the ban on the checkpoints by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, was misconstrued by them.

Aduba, who gave this directive while reacting to the increasing spate of kidnappings and robberies on the major highways in the state, said patrol was necessary in order to curtail the menace which was making a nuisance of the security measures already put in place by the police.

While speaking with journalists during his tour of the Warri Area Command, the Commissioner of Police said he was shock that through his journey from Asaba to Ughelli and Warri in the past two days that there was no sign of policemen on the highway.

“The IG was clear on the ban on checkpoints, but he did not say there should be no police posts. He did not say there should be no stop and search. What is expected of you is that if there is any need, you stop and search one, two or three vehicles and allow others to go their way.

“What the I-G said is there should not be total blockade of the roads as witnessed in the recent past. You should mount occasional stop and search, if the need arises but move away after that. I am not happy that I did not see my men on the road all through my journey to Warri”, he said.
