After the Nyanya bomb blast which occurred on Monday April
14th, which killed over 80 people, military checkpoints have
been mounted at various strategic
road junctions to check human and vehicular activities in the FCT. Motorists/workers say these checkpoints have become a big problem for them as they lose many useful hours in traffic with some
of them getting late to work and receiving queries. According
to a report on Channels TV, residents in Abuja say their fear is in the
manner in which the military men carry out their search operations.
They say the traffic opens them to a possible attack from Boko Haram men
who can take advantage of the gridlock and strike
again. They pleaded with the military to seek more effective
ways to carry out their search.
