The Governor of Kaduna State,
Nasir El-Rufai has called for the arrest and prosecution of drivers, who while
protesting the killing of their colleague by a policeman for refusing to pay
bribe, blocked the expressway.
Recall that many
passengers were stranded as drivers blocked the Abuja-Kaduna highway, following
a protest.
The protest came after policemen
on duty along the Abuja-Kaduna highway allegedly killed a commercial driver
after he refused to give them a N2,000 bribe.
Reacting via his Twitter handle,
El-Rufai expressed disappointment over the incident, writing: “It is most
unfortunate.
“The drivers will all be arrested
and prosecuted for this.
“There are lawful means of
expressing grievances. This is unacceptable!
“The State Commissioner of Police
is investigating and reporting to our Attorney-General for immediate
prosecution of the trigger-happy officer, but the tanker drivers have no right
to do what they did, and must pay the price as well.”
