Consequently, there should be no checkpoints within the ports\u201d, it said further.<\/p>\n<p>It also clarified that information patrols beyond that point should not last more than 24 hours at any given time. According to the circular, only two checkpoints at Agbara and Gbaji are approved along the Lagos-Badagry-Seme Road.<\/p>\n<p>It warned that Zonal Coordinators, Comptrollers FOUs, CACs CIU and other units would be held responsible for flouting the directive.
