Commuters were left stranded on Tuesday after rains destroyed the roof of Kugbo Bus Terminal, dropping the wreckage on the road leading into the Federal Capital Territory. 

The roof of Kugbo Bus Terminal located opposite Kugbo Furniture was torn and damaged by the rain. 

The wreckage scattered on the road caused gridlock on the expressway leading into the FCT.

Some motorists who drove against traffic to escape the gridlock were also trapped in the traffic snarl at Kugbo Furniture.
