It was gathered that the protest halted vehicular movement on the road for several hours.
The deceased, whose identity had yet to be ascertained as of the time of filing this report, was said to be heading for the northern part of the country when the tragedy struck.
He was said to have engaged in a hot argument with the policeman, who allegedly demanded a N50 bribe from him.
A source said, “The policeman stopped the truck driver at the checkpoint and they engaged in an argument over a bribe of N50. The driver refused to offer the policeman the bribe and suddenly, the policeman shot the man in the head and he fell down and died.
“This infuriated the other truck drivers and they barricaded the road in protest.”
Another source stated that efforts made by a team of policemen, who were deployed in the scene, could not end the protest as the drivers insisted that the killer cop must face the music.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident, described it as sad and unfortunate.
He gave an assurance that the culprit would be brought to justice.
