Police disperse protesters who blocked Kaduna-Zaria expressway
The police operatives in Kaduna have fired tear gas to disperse protesters who blocked the Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Expressway.
The protesters had earlier blocked the Gwargwaje junction, a section of Kaduna -Zaria- Kano expressway, thereby causing a gridlock of trucks travelling to Kano.
Policemen who tried to convince the youth to allow free vehicular movement were stoned by the youth, a situation that prompted the security officers to throw tear gas at them.
Meanwhile, the situation has been brought under control after the protesters resisted the action and returned back to the road, blocking vehicular movement.
The police, however, later resolved to allow the youth to continue with the blockage of the road and the gridlock persisted.
