The Association of Drivers of Dangote Cement Transport, Obajana in Kogi State has directed all its members to boycott the transportation of cement to the South-East region.
Coordinator of the Association, Dr Auwal Aliyu said they declared a warning strike due to the constant killing of the northerners in the South East, adding that not less than 100 northerners were murdered in the zone within a week.
This comes a few days after the leadership of some Northern groups involved in commercial activities between the North and South-East zone directed commodity traders and truck drivers to shun the zone over the killing of their members by gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra .
The association said the decision was taken over the security situation in the region and in Akwa Ibom state in the South-South region.
Aliyu claimed that the strike had started to have a good effect and that security agencies, northern state governors, and residents in the impacted zone had all been informed.
