Drivers Who Blocked Abuja-Kaduna Highway Will Be Prosecuted – El-Rufai

By Funmi Olakunle

Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has vowed that the drivers who blocked the Abuja-Kaduna high way last Friday will be tracked down and prosecuted.

The drivers blocked the highway to protest the alleged killing of one of their own by policemen supposedly for his refusal to part with 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,” he tweeted.
