Motorists on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway experienced severe traffic disruption on Wednesday after a truck driver allegedly blocked both lanes at the Ogere end, protesting what he described as extortion by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC.
According to stranded commuters, the driver claimed that
FRSC officers had seized his truck battery, prompting him to obstruct traffic
on the Ibadan-bound side of the highway.
It was gathered that other truck drivers joined in
solidarity, extending the blockade to the Lagos-bound section, which resulted
in a complete standstill along the busy expressway.
Authorities from the Police and the Nigerian Army reportedly
attempted to intervene, but their efforts were thwarted by the gathered crowd,
preventing any immediate resolution.
More details shortly…
