the Nigerian army have been victims of ugm as well as the police. All that your armed forces need is people who have same weapon as them. you can kill civilians and turn the east a warzone all you want but sooner than later you will not only be overwhelmed by armed boys crazier than you but the fallout will spread to other parts of the country.

LISTEN NOTHING WILL SPREAD TO ANYWHERE.UGM HAVE BEEN KILLING IGBOS FOR A LONG TIME.ITS TIME FOR IT TO END.

A small price to pay, to save them from being killed or kidnapped.

I remember Maiduguri some years back

Because easterners are supporting killings of innocent humans by savages called ipobb. THE EAST IS LIVING in FEAR OF THEIR EVIL KILLER KINDREDS LIKE EKPA AND LIKES you can't move from 6pm in east again,is so sad.

the most confessed people in the world.igbo people too like drama and clout chasing.some weeks ago they where begging for government intervention,now government is intervening they start complaining again we dont like the way the army is going about its security work.since you people dont like it please let the President withdraw our troops so ipob can finish this people.

The terrorist in uniform go soon collect from those they're looking for. Why harass civilians..

Nothing will happen. You can take it to the bank. Highest Nigerian army will do is to molest civilians. With time, they'll collect their own and run. Only dialogue will solve the problem. Those living with the delusions that the crises in the east won't spread will be caught unaware. This is 2023. Non state actors have almost as much arms as state actors. We have not recovered from arms proliferation from Libya's crisis ten years ago talk more of proliferation within Nigeria.

SOLDIERS of the Nigerian Army, deployed under ‘Operation Udoka’, are forcing travellers in the South-East to disembark from vehicles at numerous checkpoints that litter the region, checks by The ICIR have shown.

On getting to any of the checkpoints manned by heavily armed soldiers on major highways in the region, vehicles – both commercial and private – would stop to discharge passengers. The passengers, mostly travellers, will then trek across the checkpoint. On getting to a considerable distance beyond the checkpoint, they will stop and wait for the vehicle that was conveying them.

The driver will then move the vehicle past the checkpoint to meet the waiting passengers, who will subsequently return to their seats in the car.

The journey will continue until the vehicle gets to the next checkpoint, where the process will be repeated.

The ICIR’s correspondent, who experienced the situation while travelling across the South-East states, noted that the development frustrated motorists and travellers in the region.

During a trip from Enugu to Umuahia, Abia State capital, on Friday, July 21, the commercial bus boarded by The ICIR correspondent was made to stop and discharge passengers at eight different checkpoints.

At each of these checkpoints, passengers – both young and old, male and female – had to come down and trek to the other side to wait for the vehicle.

Interestingly, vehicles and passengers are not searched at the checkpoints. But The ICIR correspondent observed that the heavily armed soldiers were alert as they watched the passengers walking past the checkpoints.

During the morning period, when a lot of people are travelling, the checkpoints are usually crowded with so many passengers who disembarked from several vehicles. The vehicles, mostly buses, which had discharged the passengers, will also queue up. They wait until the passengers have walked past the checkpoints before driving through, one after the other, to pick up their passengers.

The ICIR correspondent observed that when the volume of traffic at the checkpoints is high, some passengers have difficulty identifying the particular vehicle they boarded.

The repeated disembarkation at numerous checkpoints is not only stressful, it also wastes time, making the journey last much longer than it should.

The journey from Enugu to Umuahia, which ordinarily should be less than one hour, lasted more than two hours.

“Is this a war zone? It is only in war zones that you can witness this,” an aggrieved passenger muttered as travellers waited for their vehicle to move past the checkpoint and pick them, to continue the journey.

Many passengers expressed anger at the situation. A passenger, who said she has gotten used to the situation, being a regular traveller on the route, explained that she starts her journeys two or three hours earlier than usual in order to meet up with appointments. “If not, you will not arrive on time. You have to add extra one or two hours in order to meet up,” the woman told other travellers.

An old woman, who complained of arthritis, could barely walk across one of the checkpoints and had to be supported by sympathetic co-travellers.

Didn't read your trash. When the time comes you'll live with it.

Is this reporter ok? Is it only in the south east that he noticed that, & isn't he aware that that has been a norm for years, since the menance of armed bandits?
Nigerians and silly nagging. If the soldiers don't do so to sterm the excecess of criminality on the interstate border's in which they are mostly stationed, & u are kidndapped & driven uninterupted to their den (by armed gunmen), then, same reporters will say the Govt has failed in protecting its citizens.
Or should the soldiers come to ur house to protect u?
Funny report.
