Protesters have taken over Zuba-Kubwa expressway, one of the major roads in Nigeria’s capital city.
The protesters who blocked different sections of the road, according to Daily Trust, are only granting access to vehicles with leaves.
As strategic as it is, the expressway is the one which leads to the Presidential Villa when coming from neighbouring Niger and Kaduna States.
Security forces have been dispersing the protesters for hours but they have been regrouping, making the journey tough for road users.
As of 4 pm, our correspondent who has been monitoring the protest across the city counted at least seven roadblocks mounted by young persons in a distance of about two kilometres.
Both human and vehicular movements were restricted by the youths, who apparently identify leaves as a symbol of peace.
A convoy of a top government official which had about five Hilux vehicles had to park by the roadside to access the situation from a distance.
