CP Dismantles Road Blocks On Lagos-badagry Expressway by iwaeda: 9:05pm On Apr 10, 2021
The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, on Saturday ordered the dismantling of all illegal police road blocks on Lagos-Badagry expressway.

The state police command’s spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement that Odumosu gave the directive on Friday while addressing Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers in the command.

“In his bid to restore sanity and decency to the operations of the police along the ever-busy international route, Lagos/Badargy Expressway, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered for the immediate dismantling of illegal road blocks by the police teams from the Lagos State Police Command.

“He ordered the Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers whose jurisdictions fall along the Badargy Expressway; Festac and Area K, Marogbo, to withdraw their men from the illegal road blocks.

“He directed that they embark on aggressive motorised patrol and surveillance to police their areas and the route.

“The Commissioner of Police confirmed that the illegal police road blocks along the route have been condemned by the government, international bodies and interest groups and they must be dismantled without delay,” he said.

The CP, however, noted that other police operatives from other police formations, outside the supervision of the Lagos State Police Command who operate along the route would be contacted to adjust and do the needful to restore sanity to their operations.

The CP then warned the concerned Area Commanders to desist and take necessary action on the full compliance with his order as any defaulter will be sanctioned accordingly.

They left a region that needs road block like kilode, a region that some group of armed men could abduct hundred's of students with ordinary motorcycle and be mounting road blocks on the roads of region that is very calm and peaceful.

Oga CP dismantle ALL road blocks in Southern Nigeria

Meanwhile please If you are a police, army, civil defence please REPLY ME, If possible create a fake account and reply this message I want to ask something really important, especially if you have worked in Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria do they tell you guys to act differently? Do you have separate Orientation for the different regions?

Because


In all my years of living in the north and even middle belt regions from Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, Abuja etc I have never met road blocks even inter state road blocks the way we have road blocks in the south, I promise you, you won't even know when you have left Abuja and you are in Nassarawa or Kaduna except you see a signboard, you don't know when you have left Jigawa and entered Kano but in the south you know you are crossing to another TOWN not STATE oh when you see about 3 check points on a one meter road with tires and a bench and that locally made burner lantern stuff made of milk tin used to light the check point. Northerners who have lived all their lives in the north won't understand all what I just described.

In the midst of the Corona craze you could still drive and cross borders in Northern Nigeria, but in the south another story.

And it surprises me because due to boko haram, herds men, bandits, insurgency, etc one would expect the north to have the most road blocks more army and police presence.

But no, South south and south east have the most, the state with the Most is Rivers state, if you are entering rivers from that Oyigbo or omoku or eleme area you will pass over 14 road blocks and if you are a commercial motorists you will have to settle all of them, I'd you are riding a motorcycle you will come down your passenger will come down and you will push your bike through the check point while your passengers walk behind you, but in Northern Nigeria this does not happen, I remember driving through large states like Kano, (Kano is bigger than almost all of not all of the south east states) yet not one stop and search or police check point and there has been attacks in Kano In 2019 I remember boko attacked Kano and killed atleast 25 in 2020 there were also several attacks but the last militancy attack in South south Nigeria happened in the 2009's yet we have these measures till today.

Back to my journey from Jigawa, gumel, ringim, to Kano bebeji, to Zaria, to Abuja This journey is longer than driving through the south south and south east from Warri to Enugu to port harcourt to uyo yet I didn't see ONE police Checkpoint or one stop and search, so Simple things like these are why certain sections of the country feel attacked, feel cheated out of this Alleged One Nigeria, we are not all treated equally at all. It is not even as if Rivers state shares border with any country

Then there are other little things like plate numbers, tinted glass permit, fire extinguisher etc in the south Lagos, Port Harcourt etc if you don't have these prepare to settle, in the north it is very normal for vehicles especially motor cycles to not have plate numbers to not be registered at all, it is common to see hundreds of tinted cars and not even one has tinted permit, Yet our one Nigeria police, road safety, civil defence, army etc all operate different laws in Northern Nigeria than they operate in Southern Nigeria

While I was in Jigawa and Ogun especially Jigawa during market days the borders are flung open herdsmen, sheep sellers etc from Niger enter freely without stop and search and all those B.s you see when entring PH from ABA

And I ask myself is it that PH and Aba border is more insecure, posses more treat to Nigeria than Niger and Nigeria border in Jigawa or Nigeria and Benin border in Ogun and elsewhere. I'm puzzled. Someone explain to me why this is so. I wanted to film the checkpoints but you know the kind of country we are in. Police brutality and army brutality is real.

I also noticed that when I fly at the northern airports I greet armed military men wearing Black and black dressed like a normal young boy and they responded very well they even bowed down and where hailing me, I was shocked this has happened more than 3 occasions.
But in the south, immediately I entered pH airport despite the plate number I was driving, despite wearing Native wear, despite telling them who I am these SARS and police were still eager to give me problems to make sure I settle them by force, I had to talk to their boss and even put some high profile call through. It's the same for army, road safety etc. in the south ARMY will NEVER smile with you, joke with you etc except you know them personally so I'm wondering is it the same orientation.

Please feel free to reply, No judgement nothing I just want to know.

Nepa too during my stay in Abuja I called Nepa officials and they came immediately on several occasions, the first time I didn't have cash on me to settle them for a work they were to do for me, so they said no p call us in the evening or anytime you get the money and we will come I said no, because I didn't believe they would come back (that's how they are in the south) so do it now I'll transfer to you and you can withdraw whenever or use cash from your hand, or fix it and come tomorrow I'll pay you, I'm not running this is my house, they laughed and said oga no worry when you call us for evening we go come dear friends I went to ATM got the cash came back around 7 or 8 called these guys they came fixed it for me collected cash. This would NEVER HAPPEN IN My section of the south.

I have many many other experiences like drugs for example young, I mean very young boys, pre teen boys buy and smoke drugs not shisha, not cigar or cigarettes, I mean Igbo, loud, S.K, and hard drugs, narcos etc, in broad day light, shops sell these in plates in the open, they sell it the way you'd sell grounded/blended Cray fish, dry pepper etc in the south, when I saw these at first I was scared I didn't know why exactly, but after a while, after seeing police officer buying and even seeing some boys smoke on the road as they went about their daily activities I became used to it, so help explain to me WHY THIS IS SO?

I have more but this is already too long.

I believe if we can understand why, it will help us know why the north does not seem to be on the same page with the south on little things such as #endsars and other protests because these are not things that affect them, it's almost as if we are two different countries, for me atleast it felt that way the culture shock was too much.

No alcohol but you can smoke whatever whenever

No touching or handshakes with women but you can marry 4

I can go on and on but I'll stop here and hope someone answers me

Road block they help reduce robbery o. Do these guys use data to make informed decisions or they just wake up n take decisions based on their inner guts. Road blocks has its disadvantage but before you dismantle it you should do an analysis on CRIME RATES based when there were no road blocks to when there were road blocks using historical logs

Useless country

So they knew there are illegal road blocks by their police and there is no any form of punishment for officers that put up those illegal road blocks

Trust the useless Nigerian police force at your own risk

Oga CP,
helep tell AIGs to dismantle all roadblocks. Especially from Sagamu to south east up to Hort Harcourt.

What you need is good communication between units and RRS by the roadsides along the expressways
