Commuters plying Lagos Badagry expressway are currently stranded in various bus stops as commercial drivers in the areas shunned their jobs in protest of massive extortion by the men of Nigerian Police in countless roadblocks.

The policemen in that area are often shamelessly and openly collect bribes from motorist without fear.

The menace, which preceded this present administration of anti-corruption government of President Muhammadu become messy and unchecked since the beginning of this government. 

The commercial drivers  who could no longer bear the police extortion took to the roads, preventing their members not to work in protest.
