Travellers stranded for hours on Kaduna-Abuja Highway gridlock

Many travellers were stranded for hours on Monday, November 9, at Gidan Busa, along the Kaduna-Abuja highway. 
 

The gridlock followed multiple accidents involving long vehicles. 
 

Motorists and passengers were left stranded under the sun for hours.

Some emerged from their vehicles to stand by the side of the road as they observed the standstill that stretched as far as the eyes can see.

Besides humans, goods and livestock were also caught in the gridlock. 
 

Cattle trucks with livestock and trucks carrying bundled cargo were stuck in the unmoving traffic. 
 

One of the travellers stranded in the gridlock appealed to the Federal Government to complete the highway soon, so that the hardship faced by road users would be reduced, especially during festive periods.
