Road users were trapped in a heavy gridlock that lasted for over three hours at the Arroma junction axis of the Enugu/Onitsha expressway, Awka, Anambra State.
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.
Trouble started on Thursday January 13th 2022, when Navy personnel punctured the tyres of one of the lories.
At the scene, the lorries barricaded the road as no vehicle coming from Enugu could navigate through the Arroma flyover.
Road users could not also use down part of the flyover, thereby causing heavy traffic in the area which also affected other routes that are connected to the Enugu/Onitsha expressway.
According to eyewitnesses 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.
