Multiple sources allege that a policeman shot the driver for refusing to pay a N100 bribe. 


The development has also caused gridlock on the airport road as angry youths and colleagues of the murdered driver blocked and set bonfires on the road.



Reacting to this, the Police Public Relations Officer in Rivers, SP Nnamdi Omoni, said men of the force have been deployed to the area to contain the situation.
