Gridlock builds on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway as protest erupts

Vehicle movement on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is gradually ceasing.

The gridlock has spread from the Mowe area of Ogun State to the Long Bridge area of Arepo, following a protest over the naira scarcity that erupted on Friday morning.

Police were seen along the motorway and many vehicles turning back in an attempt to escape the chaos ahead.
