IGP Orders Dismantling Of All Road Blocks Nationwide
The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has ordered the dismantling of all roadblocks nationwide with immediate effect.
Police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
The order affected the Lagos-Ibadan, Shagamu-Benin, and Benin-Onitsha highways.
It also affected Okene-Abuja, Kaduna-Kano, Katsina – Kano, Otukpo – Enugu, Enugu – Port Harcourt Expressways.
He said the directive was necessary to enable ease of doing business in Nigeria, safeguard, and guarantee free passage of goods and travellers throughout the country.
“To this end, no police department, section, squad or unit should mount road block without express permission of the Inspector-General of Police,” Moshood stated.
He added that Senior officers must ensure that every patrol vehicle in their respective formation has a conspicuous and legible inscription of patrol vehicle identification number, and dedicated emergency phone numbers.
Moshood said, “Furthermore, police personnel involved in vehicular patrol on highways and major roads across the country must wear their uniforms with a bold name tag and service number.
“The Special X-Squad teams of the Force have been deployed throughout the country, they are under strict instructions to arrest, investigate and discipline any police personnel violating this directive.”
“For avoidance of doubt, the Taxes and Levies act, Laws of Federation of Nigeria 2004 section 2 (2) disallowed any person, including a Tax Authority from mounting a Road block in any part of the Federation for the purposes of collecting any Tax or Levy,” it added.

That is what u have when people that lack idea and effective sense of reasoning, are in power. Maybe that order is only for Abuja and other northern states. Or they want to spread their islamic foot soldiers to the south east, i mean the boko haram.

Absolutely rubbish order from a well fantastic corrupt IG, dishing out useless and fruitless instructions,but I would love to ask him if there’s any different when he issued an order to dismantle all roadblocks while the military is currently holding on the duty of collecting money on the various roads in southeastern states and south south inclusively,then one may wish or tempt to ask a harmless question, that’s if there’s any difference when you sale your dog and went to bring in monkey in your house? What a useless country headed by criminals.
