It was discovered that the gridlock, which started at about 5am on Thursday, was caused by a trailer carrying metal scraps, which fell directly on the major road leading to the city center, close to Abacha Barracks earlier on Wednesday, which made motorists to resort to driving on one-way.

 

Passengers were seen alighting from buses to start trekking on foot to the AYA Roundabout, while those who could afford the exorbitant fare charged by motorcycle riders were seen boarding them.

As a result of the gridlock, motorcycle riders were charging N1000 from Nyanyan to AYA, while from Kugbo, they were charging between N700 to N500 to AYA.

 

The motorcycle riders were seen using drainages as pathways to connect to AYA roundabout because of the blocked expressway.

 

Pedestrians and motorists blamed the authorities for allowing the trailer and its load to remain on the road till morning, causing the uncontrolled gridlock on one of the busiest expressways in the territory.

 

A combined teams of the Nigerian Police, Road Safety, and Civil Defence Corps was seen trying to control the traffic and evacuate the trailer load of scraps from the road.
