Motorists plying the Abuja-Lokoja Highway may now heave a sigh of relief as the two articulated trucks that combined with flood to render the road impassable at Koton-Karfe in Kogi, have been removed.

The trucks, one with NNPC inscription on it, and another articulated vehicle broke down almost adjacent to each other at Koton-Karfe close to Lokoja on Friday resulting in a total blockage of the flooded highway.

“The fuel in the tanker was first off-loaded into another tanker, which also pulled the first one off the flooded road on Friday night. Dawulung noted that vehicular movement was still very slow across the flooded road since a long gridlock had been caused at both ends over the last few days.
