Protest erupted Wednesday night after a police officer allegedly shot a lorry conductor to death at a checkpoint in Ozara village in Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State.
A witness, who gave his name as Bashiru, told PREMIUM TIMES that the incident occurred at about 10pm after a lorry conductor refused give a N100 bribe.
Bashiru, a truck driver, said the trigger-happy policeman demanded for bribe from the driver of the truck, and the driver, in turn, asked his conductor if there was N100 with him to settle the policeman.
According to the witness, when the conductor said he had none, the police officer asked him to alight from the vehicle, and then shot him dead on the spot.
Sources said after the shooting, truckers – numbering more than a hundred – plying the highway barricaded the road since 10pm Wednesday night.
The truckers barricaded the only way linking North to West and Eastern parts of Nigeria.
“As at last count, more than a hundred truck drivers are participating in the protest on the Lagos Okene Abuja road,” one witness said.
Bashiru said he and his colleagues would not vacate the route until authorities decisive action stopping uniformed men on the road from collecting bribes.
Reports said the divisional police officer in charge of Okene area visited the scene of the incident on Thursday morning and explained to the protesters that the policeman who shot the conductor had been detained.
The spokesperson for the Kogi State Police Command could not be reached for comments Thursday morning.

They can never miss the target when it comes to a civilian.
A Nigerian policeman will shoot into the sky, but the bullet will still find a way into the stomach of an innocent civilian. Ndi ara!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like i stated in another thread, the Nigerian police force is a failed federal project. It needs to urgently be decentralized, restructured and re-branded. It's not about buying brand new vehicles, helicopters or changing uniform. A stitch in time saves nine

Koran chapter 10 vs 94 says
''if u have any doubt in this book i have given u, go and read d bible or ask those who read d bible. (meaning muslims should b christains) the Koran says Allah created the world through the word. (same Koran says Jesus is the word of God)
Koran mentioned d name of Jesus 25times while mohammed name was just mentioned 4times. The only woman name written in the Koran is 'mariam' (the mother of jesus) even d chapter 3 of d Koran is named after her. D Koran agreed she went to heaven with her physical body. Meaning the assumption s written in d Koran. Koran said Jesus s still alive while it stated dat mohammed s dead. Koran said Jesus can give life.
So tell me why these muslims dont wanno accept the truth and follow christ?

Has there been a day without crisis in this country?

ok
I feel for any job seeker who has to pass that road for an interview. the road ahead is indeed long

to the conductor rest in peace

to the police, Kirikiri tins on point

funny enough these trigger happy police men are the first to run for cover when they face robbers

Is it Ozara or Osara Kogite in the house which is the right one?

Ndi ara ogbete

It's better to always keep some change for bribe until the country's police force turns to a sane one. Don't allow yourself to be used as an example by some retarded beasts

OSARA jor

Proudly Kogite

Police and their gragra self [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

Police as usual, be rest assured that nothing will be done to this erring drunken officer
Worse case we will see him posted out of Kogi state once the protest dies down.
That is if he is being detained at all.
Evil men
