Blackdisciple:
Police wouldn't dare mount checkpoints in those places

MadPolitician:
I believe that the order to turn every checkpoints in the south-east into very lucrative tollgate was given from above. It is a deliberate policy of the APC to turn the region into a beast of burden. Why do I think so? Just take a look at the boldness of the officers at those tollgates. Irrespective of how strident the calls to disengage with this method, the guys at Abuja will turn deaf ears. That is because they are getting the remittance. And they won't stop until they're forced to stop. The main ideology behind the APC is the continuous marginalisation of the former Eastern Nigeria and the looting of her resources for the development of other regions. Nothing else

MadPolitician:
Regional police maybe.
State police will be abused. Look at Uzodimma and his Ebube Agu menace

PresidObi:
Even if we pay 1 million in tax per person in Nigeria now, criminals lik the ones in Aso Rock will steal it. That's beside the case we're treating.

What I insist on is local knowledge. Local knowledge will remove a lot of things like much spending. So forget about frightening us with money, safety deserves all we can put into it.

SmartPolician:
The IGP is in charge; he makes the final call. PSC is a commission mostly full of retired police officers who only make recommendations to the main police force. So, he cannot do anything about it.

DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd) made the comment

nairalanda1:
Same thing for state police since the people doing the thing are like the people in the villa

Yampotatocarrot:
It's really funny if the Police commision man said all this...

If you know, you know, you know, what are you doing or what have you done about it, or is it just knowing?

I prefer the army checkpoints remain and all the police checkpoints be dismantled... Then all the officers posted to Tiger base should have all their families relocated to Imo state also, e get why... What is good for the goose...an eye for an eye

Or better still, all the police checkpoints be moved to Orlu and Orsu, since those are the two areas always causing nuisance in the state

they can't try this shit in my territory(northern) Nigeria. as long as Igbos are scared to d!e for their right, they will always be downgraded by Nigerian gvt. it's really a pity, and Nigerian gvt's very partial and bias.
