Hundreds of drivers travelling Thursday on bustling East-West Road sat for hours in a massive traffic gridlock, the result of a protest by ex-militant youths from Delta and Bayelsa State over non-payment of November and December allowances by the Federal Government. The protestors accused the Presidential Amnesty Office and Ministry of Finance for deviating the promised funds.
Irate ex-militant youths, barricading the Patani end of East-West Road around 10 a.m., refused to leave the roadway, rebuffing efforts by security personnel to restore order.

The protest is the second embarked upon by the angry youths this week over delay of their monthly stipends.
