Commercial drivers in Lagos State under the aegis of the Joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria (JDWAN), have commenced a seven-day boycott of roads in the state. The drivers are observing the boycott over alleged extortion by the management of motor parks and garages in the state. The protest left many commuters stranded on roads across the state as commercial buses were not available to board. According to the striking drivers, when they refuse to be extorted, they get arrested and have to bring the police with N10,000.
