A traveller @footamb on Twitter has explained how travellers
including him have been left stranded on Akure road via Owena by community
members who blocked the highway in protest of the death of a young boy.
According to him, he gathered that a commercial driver yesterday knocked down a
boy who was part of the community and so community youths and men woke up this
morning to block the highway leaving hundreds of travellers stranded on the highway
which has resulted into a gridlock. Amazingly some soldiers arrived the scene,
carefully removed the road block and continued with their journey without returning
peace back on the high way. See his tweets after the cut.
