Several travellers were left stranded for hours on Monday, November 9, following a severe traffic gridlock along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
The congestion occurred around Gidan Busa after multiple accidents involving heavy-duty vehicles disrupted the free flow of traffic, leaving motorists and passengers trapped under the scorching sun.
The gridlock also affected trucks transporting livestock and other goods, with some passengers forced to step out of their vehicles while waiting for the traffic to clear.
One of the stranded travellers appealed to the Federal Government to expedite the completion of the highway, noting that improved road conditions would help reduce the hardship faced by commuters, particularly during festive periods.
