There was gridlock on Koko- Yauri Road in Kebbi State yesterday
because of clash between a trailer driver and soldiers manning a
checkpoint. The traffic jam, according to witnesses, lasted for more
than two hours.
The bone of contention was the refusal of the driver, Jamilu Yahaya,
to give a N200 bribe allegedly demanded by the soldiers. The driver of
the trailer with the registration number TRN 99 ZG Kano said the
soldiers requested for N200, which he refused to give them. According to
Yahaya, the soldiers refused to allow him to proceed with his journey
while one of them threatened to beat him.
The driver added that one of them started shouting and threatening to
kill him if he refused to give them the N200. Yahaya also claimed that
the said soldier smashed the windscreen of his vehicle with a big stick.
