Commercial activities came to a halt in Jalingo, Taraba State, on Friday as tricycle operators staged a protest in response to the alleged killing of one of their colleagues by unidentified suspects. The protest, which commenced in the afternoon on Friday, resulted in the blockage of several major highways in Jalingo metropolis. Notable roads affected by the protest included Nukkai, ATC, and Micheline, among others. Abdullahi Bello, the state chairman of the Association of Tricycle Operators, revealed in an interview with our reporters that the victim was murdered by individuals posing as passengers. These individuals initially hired the tricycle operators but ultimately not only killed the driver but also made off with the tricycle itself.
