THE National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) on Thursday, July 9, 2015 denied reports the that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the dismantling of military roadblocks along the nation’s highways.

Speaking after a meeting with top military officers in Abuja, Dasuki said that military roadblocks in flashpoints would continue to be maintained.

However, those in relatively peaceful areas would be dismantled but soldiers would still be positioned in those areas while not blocking roads.

His words: “It is both conventional and a global practice for governments to increase security measures whenever insecurity is heightened and appealed to citizens to endure attendant inconveniences as they are temporary.”

Dasuki said that the essential security checkpoints in vulnerable areas are ‘necessary inconvenience’ to ensure criminals and terrorists do not have easy passage.

He cited some arrests made recently including that of a mastermind of bomb attacks in some towns who were nabbed by Nigerian troops at such checkpoints.

While condemning indiscriminate proliferation of security checkpoints by unauthorised bodies, he said.

“We will continue to ensure that the necessary or essential security checkpoints are not avenues for extortion, indiscipline and other forms of corrupt practices that can exacerbate traffic flow and cause road accidents.”

He added that the government is deploying new sophisticated scanners and detectors in some areas to ease traffics and to identify movements of strange objects, concealed weapons and criminal suspects.

“With effective use of technology which minimises physical contacts between security personnel and citizens, the time spent at designated security checkpoints will ultimately be reduced,” he said.

He said that whenever necessary, the soldiers will mount their points to conduct security screening in emergency situations and for quick response.

Please I have a question.

How do we verify the authenticity of any news item in this administration?

When you elect a government full of propaganda, you always get lies and deceit. The religion of APC is lies and deceit.
