Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has voiced his worries about the Southeast region's overabundance of military and police checkpoints on the roadways.

The seasoned actor said in a video posted on Instagram that he had not come across any police or military checkpoints while driving on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Nonetheless, he noted that checks in the Southeast are located only 200 meters apart, exposing passengers to what he called "harassment and humiliation."

Kanayo O. Kanayo asked if the widespread presence of these checkpoints is a sign of "hatred or dislike" for the local populace.

He said, "I left Felele Olorunshogo area of Ibadan this morning at about 7.15 and this is exactly 8.15 and I am in Lagos. I found out one thing. Over a distance of 80 kilometers, I didn’t see one checkpoint, one police checkpoint or an Army checkpoint, Have you ever plied the Onitsha/Enugu expressroad. Did you ever count the number of police checkpoints or military checkpoints on Enugu-Onitsha road?

Why is the South East militarized and policed that you cannot go for more than 200 meters without a police checkpoint. I need to ask this question because the delay in journeys and humiliation people go through needs to be pointed out. The number of police checkpoints, collection points? They humiliate our people so badly tat most times people in the vehicle are asked to come down and hands up? Is this hatred? Is this dislike? This is not good. Is the South East still part of Nigeria?"
