@persecondnews.ng: Hundreds of travellers and motorists have been stranded for up to three days on the Benin-Agbor Expressway in Edo State as severe flooding, failed sections of the road and broken-down heavy-duty trucks bring traffic to a standstill. Several motorists are reportedly spending nights inside their vehicles, while stranded commuters face shortages of food and water and struggle to move along the affected corridor. The gridlock has been worsened by deep potholes, waterlogged sections and trucks stuck in mud and blocking multiple lanes. Some motorists carrying perishable goods say their cargo is spoiling after spending days in the traffic, while commuters attempting to leave the area reportedly have to trek long distances or pay inflated fares for motorcycles. The prolonged disruption has heightened calls for urgent intervention to restore movement along the major route. #nigeriannews #nigerianews #edostate #agbor
