Another trigger-happy Policeman has shot dead another man after demanding for bribe from a driver of a truck and when the conductor said there was no money, he fires him from his riffle killing him instantly.  A police officer allegedly shot a lorry conductor to death at a checkpoint in Ozara village in Okene LGA of Kogi State after which massive protest erupted on Wednesday night. According to a witness identified as Bashiru, the incident occurred at about 10pm after a lorry conductor refused give a N100 bribe. Bashiru who is a truck driver, said the trigger-happy policeman demanded for bribe from the driver of the truck, and the driver, in turn, asked his conductor if there was N100 with him to settle the policeman. When the conductor said he had none, the police officer asked him to alight from the vehicle, and then shot him dead on the spot. After the shooting, truckers numbering more than a hundred plying the highway barricaded the road since 10pm Wednesday night. The truckers barricaded the only way linking North to West and Eastern parts of Nigeria. "As at last count, more than a hundred truck drivers are participating in the protest on the Lagos Okene Abuja road," one witness said. Bashiru disclosed that he and his colleagues would not vacate the route until authorities decide to stop uniformed men on the road from collecting bribes. Reports said the divisional police officer in charge of Okene area visited the scene of the incident on Thursday morning and explained to the protesters that the policeman who shot the conductor had been detained. The spokesperson for the Kogi State Police Command could not be reached for comments on Thursday morning.
