Police will soon revive highway patrol on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

This is as the police high command had ordered intensified patrol of the highway following reports of attacks on motorists during gridlocks.

There is a specific directive that constant patrol should be carried out, especially where there are vehicle breakdowns so as to assist distressed motorists to finish repairs.

Assistant-Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Abdul-Majid Ali, said the command was addressing the challenges of inadequate patrol vehicles to stem the rising criminalities on the road.

Ali had directed the Commissioners of Police in the zone – Lagos and Ogun — that patrol vehicles and dispatch police riders should be brought back to effectively police the area.

Many motorists have reported attacks by hoodlums who dispossessed them of valuables during the unending gridlock along the long bridge.
