The Nigeria Police Command has said checkpoints on highways in the country cannot be discarded for now.
This was contained in a statement by the police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Monday, noting that the excesses of Police officers at checkpoints need to be reviewed.
Adejobi made this known while disclosing the planned tours of the Acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to all the states, which kicked off on Monday.
He said unscheduled inspections of some areas will be made, and IGP is set to touch many areas, including the borders.
He added that other relevant security agencies, especially the Nigerian Customs Service and the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), will be part of the tour.
