The Zone 2 Police Command, based in Onikan, Lagos, has announced the approval of four checkpoints to combat extortion and the proliferation of unauthorized roadblocks along the Seme border corridor.
This decision follows a security meeting convened by the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Mr. Adegoke Fayoade, with key security stakeholders on January 13, 2025, at the Command Headquarters in Lagos.
CSP Umma Ayuba, the Zonal Public Relations Officer (ZPRO), stated that the approved checkpoints—Seme Point, Gbaji Point, Apa Point, and Agbara Point—will be strategically placed to enhance security and foster economic growth in the area.
The meeting, attended by officials from the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Customs Service, Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, and the Nigeria Police Force, agreed on the creation of a joint task force to enforce the new security measures.
These measures are designed to curb illegal checkpoints and restore order in the region, benefiting the local economy.
