A heavy traffic jam along Maraba -Yanyan road caused by soldiers purportedly searching for Boko Haram. The traffic  started as early as 4.30am Nigerian time today

The traffic jam affected residents of  Maraba Yanyan near Abuja  traffic jam which paralysed  vehicular movement along the road as a result of stop and search exercise going on in Abuja Metropolis . Some of the civil servants said that they left their houses as early as 4.00 AM but to their surprise they are still in traffic as at 11.15 am, the time of filing this report.

Some motorists abandoned their vehicles and resorted to walking to work.  When our reporters got to kugbo junction soldiers were seen beating up commercial motorbike riders who were making quick money by riding on the opposite side which is one way .   It would be recalled that residents of Abuja and its environs has been complaining of harrassment by security operatives who were drafted to these roads to conduct search on the movement of vehicles in and out of Abuja to prevent any further attack by islimist group  Boko Haram in the city.                   

Commuters  blame the current trend of traffic jam in Abuja on the manual checking of the vehicles by soldiers which they described as an  ineffective measure.
