IGP Says--- Road Blocking By Policemen Is A Serious Offence

 
As against the road blocks still seen on major roads in Nigeria, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has made it known that the order banning the setting up of police road-blocks nationwide is still in force.


This was reinforced some minutes ago in a statement today by the Force spokesman, Emmanuel Ojukwu, who said the IGP had re-issued directive to all commands and formations to the ban of road blocks in the Nigeria. In his words, he said:
“The IGP warned that all semblances of police road-blocks and permanent check-points reportedly re-emerging in some parts of the country, especially in the South-East, South-South and South-West geo-political zones of Nigeria should immediately be dismantled.
“The IGP who described the trend as a serious violation of subsisting order on road-blocks warned that severe sanctions await any command, formation or personnel that violate the order”.
While speaking, the IGP also charged command Commissioners of Police and heads of formations to ensure total compliance with the order,making it known that extensive visibility patrol and effective surveillance on roads nationwide is in place to replace road blocks.It would be recalled that just recently, in a clear show of power, the governor of Kebbi state, Saidu Nasamu Dakingari was said to have slapped a Police superintendent, who is his aide de camp, Mohammed Umar, publicly.
