There was unrest in Rukpoku, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, as policeman shot dead a tricycle (Keke) driver.
The incident happened around 7am (Thursday), on Airport road leading to serious riot in the area.
Some angry youths and colleagues of the victim have taken over the major road in protest.
The development has caused gridlock on the airport road, following blockages and burnfires on the road by the aggrieved youths.
A source privy to the development alleged that the yet-to-be-known police officer killed the victim for refusing to offer him N100 bribe.
State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Nnamdi Omoni, a Superintendent of Police (SP), said he believed their personnel have been deployed there to contain the situation.
