JUST IN: STANDSTILL ON ABUJA-KADUNA HIGHWAY AS POLICE OFFICER KILLS TRUCK DRIVER
A report says there’s currently a traffic deadlock on the Abuja-Kaduna highway after a yet to be identified police officer allegedly shot dead a truck driver at Olam area.
According to a twitter user who shared the story, calling the attention of the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, several drivers are protesting the action of the security operative and are demanding the presence of the governor, thereby causing a heavy standstill on the famous road.

The governor has however responded to the outcry and tweeted he is already on his way to the scene of the incident.
It is most unfortunate. Our officials are on ground to resolve it and get the vehicles moving. I am on my way to the scene right now. The drivers will all be arrested and prosecuted for this. There are lawful means of expressing grievances. This is unacceptable! https://t.co/9TrHrQrBqh
