Kanayo O. Kanayo recently expressed his frustration on social media about the excessive police and military checkpoints on South East roads. He shared his personal experience traveling from Ibadan to Lagos without encountering any checkpoints, contrasting it with the numerous checkpoints on the Onitsha/Enugu express road.
Kanayo questioned whether the high number of checkpoints stems from hatred or dislike for South East indigenes. He highlighted the delays, humiliation, and harassment commuters face, often being asked to disembark and raise their hands. This raises concerns about the region’s militarization and policing.
Key Concerns:
• Excessive Checkpoints: Frequent police and military checkpoints on South East roads
• Harassment and Humiliation: Commuters face delays, humiliation, and harassment
• Militarization and Policing: Questions surrounding the region’s heavy security presence
It’s essential to acknowledge Kanayo’s concerns and spark a conversation about the reasons behind the increased security measures and their impact on the local population.
