Following several bomb attacks in different cities in North-East, North-West and North-Central, the Police have started a special stop and search operation on roads and highways nationwide across the country.
The order for the commencement of the operation was issued by the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, with emphasis on roads in and out of major cities and towns.
In a statement by the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Abayomi Shogunle, the force enjoins Nigerians to bear with the Nigeria Police Force during the security operation as the operation is a temporary measure put in place to address intelligence information received by the police.
The police had before now ordered an end to roadblocks across Nigeria and it reiterated that the operation was not a plan to bring them back.
