Despite the order by Lagos State police boss, Hakeem Odumosu, dismantling checkpoints on Badagri-Seme corridor, investigations at the weekend showed that roadblocks on that axis still remained unabated. A check yesterday revealed that between Badagry Round-About to Seme, over 15 checkpoints were mounted by policemen. xThe Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Odumosu, had, on Saturday, ordered the dismantling of all illegal police roadblocks on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. “He ordered the area commanders and divisional police officers whose jurisdictions fall along Badargy Expressway, FESTAC and Area K, Marogbo, to withdraw their men from illegal roadblocks. x“The Commissioner of Police confirmed that illegal roadblocks on the route have been condemned by government, international bodies and interest groups and they must be dismantled without delay,” he said.
