Few weeks after the retirement of the immediate past Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, road blocks along the Lagos Badagry Expressway have returned with the Badagry-Seme end having about 11 and nine police and Customs checkpoints, respectively.
Even Customs checkpoints, which the Service headquarters limited to three, have steadily grown to seven between Seme and Badagry in the last three weeks.
Investigation revealed that the Customs checkpoints are mounted by officers from Seme Border Command and the Federal Operations Unit, FOU. With the former arrangement, both units were supposed to be present at the three approved checkpoints to avoid duplication.
Apart from the 11 police, seven Customs checkpoints counted by Vanguard between Badagry and Seme, others are gradually springing up in Agbara and Badagry town.
The Customs Authority in the past said the three approved checkpoints along the route should be sited at Gbagi, Agbara and Aradagun.
