Tanker drivers embarked on a protest by parking their trailers on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Ogere Remo axis.
According to reports, the protest started when a policeman who demanded some money from a driver shot one of the tanker's tyres belonging to Oando petroleum limited when he refused to comply to the request and fled the scene.
All efforts and appeal by the Officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission(FRSC), the police, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and Remo North Council area that went to the scene to let sanity prevail yielded no obvious result as the drivers remained on the road in protest.
The drivers later agreed to re-park their tankers to allow movement after police officials agreed to replace the damaged tyre.
