After the bomb attack last week Monday at Nyanya Motor Park which killed more than 80 people and injured well over 120, the 16 kilometer Nyanya- Abuja road leading to Federal Capital territory was put on red alert, resulting in the checking of vehicles coming into the city from that direction.
Sources has it that since the checks began, it takes over three hours before vehicles coming from that direction can access the city, a development that has generated reactions and complaints from the general public. ''It's been a nightmare'' the source said.
In a statement, the spokesman of the Defence Headquarters, Major General Chris Olukolade, assured those affected that the measures were not punitive or deliberately meant to inconvenience them.
“The actions are necessitated by the emerging security threats facing the nation which calls for support and understanding of the populace'', he said.
