Protesters have blocked the Abuja-Keffi Expressway and set up bonfires around the Orange Market axis of the ever-busy road.
Vehicles have been forced to make detours, and most businesses along the axis have shut down as large groups of youth trooped out to participate in the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests which commenced on Thursday.
A detachment of police officers, however, has quickly moved to disperse the crowds and is currently trying to put out the bonfires on the road.
