Passengers Stranded in Abuja-Lokoja Road Gridlock Face Challenges

Passengers traveling on the Abuja-Lokoja Road experienced significant delays and challenges due to a gridlock caused by a broken-down truck, bad road conditions, and an influx of motorists during the festive season. The situation led to immobilized vehicles, accidents, and diversions onto footpaths, causing passengers like Abubakar Abdullahi to pay higher fares and face survival challenges.

The gridlock persisted despite government claims of clearance, with travelers resorting to alternative routes and facing difficulties navigating the rough terrain.
