The Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has stated unequivocally that the order banning the setting up of Police road-blocks nationwide is still strictly in force.
In a directive issued to all Commands and Formations of the Force, the IGP warned that all semblances of Police road-blocks and permanent checkpoints reportedly re-emerging in some parts of the country, especially in the South East, South South and South West geopolitical zones, 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 Police Command, Formation and personnel who violate the order.
While charging the Command Commissioners of Police and Heads of Formations to ensure total compliance with this order, the IGP further orders extensive visibility patrol and effective surveillance on our roads.
