Road Blocked in Ondo as drivers protest burning of truck

Activities were on Tuesday paralysed in Akure, the Ondo State capital as tippers and quarry owners blocked a major road, Oba Adesida road, to protest the alleged burning of a truck by angry commercial motorcyclists in the state.

It could be recalled that the truck was burnt following an accident with a motorcyclist along the High Court road in the state capital.

Some of the roads blocked with trucks during the peaceful protest included NEPA Roundabout, A- Division, High court road and hospital road which made some residents to trek while car owners also parked by the roadside following the disruption of traffic for several hours.
