Stranded residents on Monday morning expressed anger over security forces’ decision to mount barricades at strategic points within the nation’s capital, Abuja, a development that caused serious gridlock.
The protesters had planned to march on the State House, the official residence of President Bola Tinubu.
In the Sokale area, one of the motorists, Usman Jibrin, said he had been in one spot for over an hour.
“If people want to go to the Villa, why should it affect those of us on the outskirts? Are they (security forces) scared that people would be imported this morning for the protest? This is punishment and God is watching us all”, he said.
Motorists along the Nyanya-Mararaba road were also stranded due to the security checkpoints mounted on the road.
