Drivers of heavy trucks on Sunday blocked major roads leading into the Gombe state capital over alleged extortion and harassment by a state taskforce to enforce compulsory use of a parking bay sited about 11 kilometres outside the capital.
The blockade brought vehicle traffic to a standstill, as other motorists coming and going out of the metropolis near the NNPC Depot, were stranded, forcing many passengers to abandon their vehicles and resort to trekking.
