They insisted that Governor El-Rufai meets with them before they remove their vehicles, following the killing of one of them by a police officer allegedly for refusing to pay N500 bribe.

Speaking on the situation, the governor said the State Commissioner of Police is investigating the matter and reporting to Kaduna Attorney-General for immediate prosecution of the trigger-happy officer, adding that the tanker drivers have no right to do what they did, and must pay the price as well.

“I just had the worst highway traffic experience of my life. It took us 12 hours from Abuja to Kaduna due to a gridlock. I have never seen a thing like that even in the movies. However the personal intervention of Governor @elrufai  was helpful,” a Twitter user Twitted.

Road users have been lamenting on the challenges they have been facing on the road. At times, kidnappers also have a field day.
