Road users today, Thursday, 13th January, 2022, at the Enugu/Onitsha expressway, Awka, were trapped in a heavy gridlock that lasted for over three hours at the Arroma junction axis of the route, as Lorry drivers blocked the road in protest against bursting of two tyres of their colleague by Navy officials operating by Stanel axis of the road.
When the ABS visited the scene, the lorries blocked the road that no vehicle coming from Enugu could pass through the Arroma flyover or the down part of it, thereby causing heavy traffic in the area which also affected other routes that are connected to the Enugu/Onitsha expressway.
According to people at the scene, the incident was caused by the action of some officials of Navy operating at the Stanel axis of the road who shot two tyres of a Lorry over a misunderstanding.
