A major traffic bottleneck has crippled movement along the Kugbo-Nyanya stretch of the Abuja-Keffi highway on Monday morning, as heavy commuter traffic clashed with mounting activity linked to the planned #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest.

Motorists reported severe delays heading into the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), with several lanes reportedly blocked by parked vehicles and gathering crowds near key junctions. The congestion, which began in the early hours, has left hundreds of commuters stranded as authorities deploy additional security to monitor the situation.

The Kugbo-Nyanya corridor has long been a hotspot for disruption during demonstrations and security operations. Monday’s gridlock underscores renewed tension in the capital ahead of the planned protest calling for the release of detained separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu, despite a recent Federal High Court order restraining such gatherings.
