With the roadblock disrupting daily life, commercial motorcycle operators have seized the opportunity to exploit the situation, charging exorbitant fees to transport passengers from Mararaba to Kugbo Furniture Village. The surge in prices, which has seen a typical N200 fare skyrocket to N1000, has further compounded the challenges faced by commuters.
Civil servants, who have been standing by the roadsides for hours, are expressing their dissatisfaction with the lack of prior information about the military’s actions. They are urging the military to reconsider the roadblock, allowing the resumption of normal traffic flow and permitting them to proceed with their daily activities.
It’s noteworthy that, at present, only the Keffi-Abuja road is obstructed against traffic, while the Abuja-Keffi axis remains unaffected. As the situation develops, affected individuals and commuters anxiously await further updates and clarity on the reasons behind the sudden road closure.
