The Kebbi State Police Command has issued a warning to residents against obstructing traffic on the Kebbi–Sokoto Federal Highway. Those found guilty of such actions will be arrested and prosecuted, according to a statement released on Friday by the command’s spokesperson, SP Bashir Usman. The incident that prompted the warning took place earlier this week, when suspected Lakurawa bandits attacked a construction site along the Sokoto–Badagry Road, resulting in the deaths of four workers.
Police Commissioner CP Umar Muhammed Hadejia urged residents to refrain from actions that could impede the movement of people and goods on the highway, emphasizing the importance of responsible behavior and respect for the rights of other road users. Hadejia also appealed to parents and guardians to discourage their children and wards from participating in unlawful gatherings along roadsides, especially when there is no legitimate reason for their presence. Anyone engaging in such activities will face arrest and prosecution, according to the police.
