It isn’t about lessons learnt or not learnt on the controversial #EndSARS protest, the authorities in Nigeria have failed to deconstruct, honestly. This is just a caveat to the political authorities in Lagos, the economic capital of West Africa, that the time has come for them to pay attention to the implications of the many oppressive police checkpoints in the city centres of Lagos, our Lagos.
Let’s come to the brass tacks: the expediency of regulating or eliminating obnoxious police checkpoints in Lagos. As I was saying, before it is too late for a worse outbreak of #EndSARS, the Governor of Lagos State should lend us his ears: he should gather intelligence on how the Lagos police command deploys its men to oppress Lagos road users through daily extortion.
The authorities in Lagos just need to be warned to be ready to face the consequences of shirking their responsibility to the residents who are already complaining to only God about the burden and yoke of multiple taxation in Lagos. Lagos residents and people doing business in Lagos have given up on possibility of sanity because of perception that Lagos is not about good service delivery or sanity on the road. It is about revenue mobilisation swagger.
The vexatious issue of police checkpoints has dominated some security and media parleys and there have been assurances by police authorities. There must have been some fundamental economic reasons they cannot dismantle checkpoints on the highways. There must be some serious reasons other than security the Lagos checkpoints keep increasing.
