Several travellers were left stranded today as there is total locked down of Abuja-Lokoja highway following the alleged killing of a tanker driver by the officials of the state revenue board.
According to reports gathered, the revenue officials were said to have flagged down the truck driver which was coming from Maiduguri and heading to the South West early Wednesday morning.
A source said, his vehicle was impounded until he paid a revenue fee of N5,000.
This was said to have generated a heated argument between the truck driver and the revenue officials which later escalated to physical fight.
It was further gathered that one of the revenue officials, who was said to be dead drunk, allegedly hit the tanker driver with an iron object, which led to the death of the driver.
This was said to have infuriated other truck drivers who, in a show of solidarity, parked their vehicles on the highway.
The revenue officials were said to have vanished into the bush.
