Chukwuka Utazi Says There Are 60 Police Checkpoints Between Lagos And Onitsha by prof2007: 12:40am On Dec 09, 2019 |
Chukwuka Utazi, senator representing Enugu north, says there are 60 police checkpoints between Lagos and Onitsha, Anambra state. Utazi, moving a motion on the floor of the senate, on Thursday, lamented that the checkpoints were being used to oppress motorists and cause them hardship. The senator said the situation should be checked by Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), before Yuletide. “60 checkpoints is what a traveller and the motoring public will have to confront in order to move from Lagos to Onitsha,” he said. You know what that means especially this Christmas period. [The senate] will not renege on our responsibilities when the masses of this country complain that government police meant to protect them has been turned into oppressive conduct by those concerned and which the IGP and people of his ilk may not be aware.” Thereafter, the Senator asked the IGP to reduce the number of checkpoints on federal highways across the country to reduce the gridlock on the roads. The lawmaker also urged Adamu to direct his officers to eschew all forms of extortion on motorists while carrying out their checks. The legislator said while roadblocks are necessary to curb criminal activities, its abuse is reprehensible. All the resolutions were adopted by the senators after a voice vote by Senate President Ahmad Lawan.

People in Ondo are not complaining. Those in Benin are not complaining. But you must complain. By the way, why are you talking about Lagos? 24 Likes 6 Shares |

Lagos to Onitsha is even far, try Owerri to Port Harcourt... For every five minutes you would see either an army or police checkpoint, and all the bast3rds do is to collect bribe from motorists. From one checkpoint you can see the next one but still those that transport arms still do it with ease, all you need is hundred naira in changes. 230 Likes 10 Shares |

And there are very few check points in the terror ravished north. The Nigerian police and military are more interested in collecting N50 bribes than performing their statutory duty of protecting life and properties. 108 Likes 2 Shares |

Even though I don't support the militarization, but it should be noted that robbery along the route increases during festivities. The hundred naira checkpoints are better than diehard robbers, my opinion. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

The North has declared war on the SE. Watch this video where the Army mans says that the SE is peaceful but they want to put soldiers on the street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6J6xHBJjNQ They want to finish the South East slowly In the House of Reps it has been revealed that the Borders in the North are Open! Why are the Borders in the North Open at Night while the Borders in the South shut? Something is wrong. https://twitter.com/olushola_shola/status/1194973367549464577 8 Likes |

Checkpoints are better than robbery incidents Mr. Senator!! It is better a motorist parts away with 4000naira to settle the Policemen at checkpoints than to run into an highway robbery squad. I support the increased checkpoints if it would curb the criminal activities on the highways 6 Likes 1 Share |

Commentor: You are stvpid. Do you know what is means for a businessman to transport a container from Lagos to Onitsha Do you know that the people affect will pay for all this Later you hypocrites will say that Igbos don't like themselves, that what is sold for 50naira in Lagos is been sold for 200 in Enugu without knowing the cause.

Commentor:Not every Igbo man give Bleep about Lagos. You Yourubas are something else, always supporting evil. Everytime Lagos this, Lagos that.. as if there something good in that over populated slum called Lagos. Thanks to Abia , Imo and Niger deltas oil money and also Lagos being the Nigeria formal capital. If not the Niger deltas oil money and Lagos being the formal capital, Kibera(Kenya) the biggest slum in Africa will be far better than Lagos. 47 Likes 3 Shares |
