Barely two weeks after the dismantling of checkpoints across the
country, luxury bus operators in Abuja have called for their
re-introduction.
The Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, had on
February 13 ordered the removal of all checkpoints throughout the
country.
The General Secretary/PRO of the Luxury Bus Proprietors Association
of Nigeria, Mararaba branch, Abuja, Mr. Oluchukwu Chukwuji, made the
call on Thursday in Abuja in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria.
He described the experience of drivers following the removal of the checkpoints as ‘very dangerous and disturbing’.
He said, “Armed robbers have taken over the abandoned police checkpoints
on the highways, so the dismantling of the police checkpoints is not in
our interest.”
