Some truck drivers have blocked the road leading to the airport situated in Port Harcourt to protest the alleged killing of their colleague by soldier over N200.

According to the aggrieved truck drivers, the incident happened on Friday night, February 19.

Recalling how they joined Nigerian youths in fighting against security operatives’ brutality, the truck drivers stated that it’s disheartening that such things are still happening.

They also stated that the soldier committed the said offence knowing fully well that the goods that were being conveyed had been cleared and approved by the government.
