Why using phones at a checkpoint is wrong – Nigerian Army general gives reasons 

Chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Major-General, Usman Mohammed, has revealed why the use of phones when approaching a military checkpoint is wrong.

According to the general, this is wrong because it constitutes a security loophole.

He disclosed this on Channels Television. He said any person making a phone call could be communicating with criminals or may even use the device to set up some certain devices.

“It is a general convention; it is not peculiar to Nigeria, it is everywhere; people who have travelled abroad know that you don’t make phone calls when approaching a checkpoint.”
