Kaduna Commissioner, Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan
By GARBA MUHAMMAD, Kaduna
The Kaduna State Security Council on Saturday announced that its decision of September 4, 2019, prohibiting checkpoints on Kaduna – Abuja Road is still in force.
This followed complaints by citizens on the alleged erection of checkpoints on the road by some security personnel.
Commissioner, Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, on Saturday advised citizens to report any violation of the directive to the Security Operation Centre on the following emergency lines: 09034000060 and 08170189999.
News Express reports that the Kaduna State Security Council had last year issued an advisory notifying citizens that there were to be no authorised checkpoint along the Kaduna – Abuja Road and other routes, to and fro.
It had said: “Any person or group of persons observed to be manning checkpoints along these routes at any time must be considered as carrying out illegal operations, and must be treated as such. Road users are strictly warned NOT to show compliance with any checkpoint on this route at this time.”
