Unknown G men will do the needful

The so called extortion you guys keep saying, is it bigger than your lives? Let the police and the military vacates the checkpoint, the same people shouting extortion will be the same people shouting to bring back checkpoint, why this hatred to our armed forces and the police? If not the presence of check points along Owo-Ifon-Benin road and Ore-Benin road, do you know the evil committed by the kidnappers along these road mentioned ? Let be wise and be sagacious. I don't pray you fall prey to the hands of kidnappers or armed men then u will realized the importance of this men you're creating hatred on. I come in peace!

Nice one. Because the checkpoints is much.

Ok then,take some of these check point to the north

Shedrack777:
Those check points are useful. Come north see wetin kidnappers dey do cos of lack of check points

Since I was small, it has been in existence. They lobby to be posted in south east.

It has been brought to house of assembly many times. Prominent igbo people have spoken but it's like pouring water on stone. Now they will say they have reason for that.

Sagamu- Ore to Benin inclusive the worst is from Kajola to Ore the check points are just at a distance of 2 to 3 electric poles outwards Lagos.
,Travellers spend hours and hours on the road, the officers are majorly police, army, frsc, and Custom service with some special paramilitary . But going inward to Lagos is relatively easy with less check points

These Igbo law makers are mostly criminals who are actually sponsoring insecurity in their region. They are the true sponsors of ipob terrorists, while they hide in Abuja and Lagos with their useless families. Unfortunately, it’s the Igbo commoners that bear the brunt of ipob cannibals, who eat the dead carcass of the Igbo commoners.
The federal govt should withdraw all security personnel attached to every Igbo politician, religious leaders and elites.
Infact, let them be granted their biafr.aud and all Igbos living in other parts of the country should be sent back to their biafla, including their politicians.

BlueStripper:
There is a reason why those checkpoints were installed by the Federal Government.

Have the stakeholders in the south east addressed those issues?

Considering the fact that the south east suffers more casualties as their economy is currently grossly affected, checkpoints everywhere and their children scattered everywhere due to insecurity. I expect them to address the root cause of the problem instead of playing to the gallery.

What's the reason numerous checkpoints were installed in the Eastern region of Nigeria?

Extortion point you mean?

What is it's necessity?
No security check, just after money.
One will move freely you are ready to tip them.
That's why they are been attacked easily

If you have been to the South East or paraded this areas mentionee. You will never typed this.
Every 30mins journey takes you extra 1hr30mins. Almost every express way has block and sticks blocking the highway.
This didn't start because of insecurity. It was there far back as 2011. The main point of the so-called Unknown gun men killing security forces is because of this checkpoint. The government has paid a deaf ear to it since time Immemorial and the locals are doing the needful which I do not recommend.
The worse is going inside village to mouth road block to collect toll from Villagers.

Only a foolish criminal will allow himself to be caught in a permanent checkpoint that he has known for years, no element of surprise whatsoever, that's why the also face easy ambush by UGM at those checkpoints

Can u jst hear what dis idiot is talking about

How many of these check points do they have in the North which has a far worse security challenges?

See this one talking. If they withdraw the Policemen attached to him, can he even visit his father's compound?

Shut up!!! You ignorant fellow!

Bobloco:
These are not check points rather extortion points

They have been fighting the civil war declared ended in 1970. Yet they think they have a country. Because of crude oyel in the Niger delta region; they are fighting war against their own country.

SOUTH EAST IS NIGERIAN AI INSECURITY ZONE OF THE WHOLE NATION.
THERE MUST BE CHECKPOINTS FOR INSECURITY EVERY WHERE IN THE SOUTH EAST OF NIGERIA.

Omo, I visited Enugu State about 3 weeks ago. The number of checkpoints we encountered before getting to our destination made me to believe we were driving inside a military barracks.

those checkpoints have been there before you were born....so keep your biased opinion to yourself,You are in your lekki paradise and have the nerves to question the reality of life in Igboland! You black Africans are never rational!

The most appalling part of this disorder is that the check points are most times less than 500meters apart.

From one check point, you can see the next one. It makes me wonder what the first check point can possibly miss that the next is needed to discover.

On Tuesday evening by 7pm there were 2 check points at the Onitsha end of the Niger River Head bridge and then another 3 (two military and one police check point) immediately after the bridge.

This resulted in an hour delay just to cross the bridge.

This is my local govt I served

eagleu:
Toll collection, not security check points.
Permanent, obvious, and traffic obstructing check points do NOTHING to enhance security, instead, it makes it worse.

The military do collect Roger but not compulsorily like the police. Military checkpoints works cos it helps to checkmate kidnapping. The military guys at checkpoints responds to incidents in a flash.
Have you heard anything about herdmen kidnapping anyone along Enugu expressway again especially around the cattle market at Lokpa?
That's the impact of their presence and credit must be given.
But instead of checkpoints, govt can invest in CCTV at hotspots, drones for tracking movements and maybe vehicles that just roam around with coordination.

This is criminals points not check points, both Nigeria army and their likes have nothing to offer southeast than bloodshed, harassment and extortion.

Judolisco:

Keep your mouth shut


Everyone knows the game of the monkey republic, if the checkpoint is removed the same security personnel’s will bring chaos and want the people to beg for the checkpoint.

Which ever the case checkpoint in the east is too much , checkpoint don’t stop kidnapping okay

Shedrack777:

Oga you lie

Those checkpoints is where you see police officers with dreadlocks, nose and ear piercings, 5 - 6 magazines attached to their guns but the soldiers fighting Boko Haram and bandits in the north only carry 2 magazines attached to their guns

This your last sentence will happen in Nigeria maybe 300+ yrs to come

Extortion points not check points

Those checkpoints are just weapon of harassments to the people of South-East. If FG has this number of checkpoints in the North Eastern states riddled with Boko haram terrorism I don't think the terrorist group will be having a field day there.

REP AMOBI OGAH COULD BE A SUSPECT FOR A VIOLENT REVOLT IN NIGERIA.
CHECK POINTS IN THE SOUTH EAST SHOULD BE INCREASED WITH INTRACTABLE MILITARY PARTICULARLY NOW THAT:-
1, THE SOUTH EAST IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING BIAFRA.
2, AI-ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BECOMING AUTOMATIC INSURRECTION AND
3, ATMS ARE REPLACING BDCS.
