The
Acting Inspector General of Police in Nigeria, Mr Solomon Arase, says
the ban on roadblocks remain operational, warning that any command found
wanting will be punished.
The newly appointed police boss gave the warning at a meeting with commissioners of police in Abuja on Wednesday.
Mr
Arase warned that the command of any jurisdiction where roadblocks are
found would be held liable and swiftly dealt with in line with police
rules and regulations.
According to the Acting
Inspector-General, roadblocks are public nuisances and points of
corruption that would not be encouraged under his administration.
He also warned officers who engage in corrupt practices to desist, as it would no longer be business as usual.
The
Acting Inspector General said he would continue on the part of the
reformation of the police force to ensure that there would be
improvements in the aspect of respect for human rights by officers and
men of the Nigeria Police Force, better welfare packages and training
for all cadre of officers and men of the police.
Mr Arase was recently appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan following the sack of his Predecessor Mr Suleiman Abba.
