Onitsha Traffic Report There is a report of traffic jams in the Onitsha axis of East-West road as many people return home in celebration of Christmas and New Year.
There was a total holdup of motorists crossing the two River Niger bridges across River Niger which serve as entry points to the East.
Many Igbo people residing in Lagos and other parts of the country who are returning him to celebrate the festive period with their family members contribute to the traffic jam rocking the Onitsha entry point of the Southeast.
In a related story, a separate report by the Daily Post showed security men are allegedly invoking hardships on motorists in the South East amidst the traffic jam.
Okoro, a driver of one of the prominent transportation companies, revealed his ordeal at the hands of the Nigerian security operatives during his Onitsha to Enugu round trip
He said, “I’m still surprised why the governors of Enugu and Anambra States have not addressed the hardship security operatives are causing on our roads. How can you have all these checkpoints just from Awka to Enugu?
“What is most worrisome is that these people are not doing anything related to security. They just block the road and cause traffic snarls everywhere. They only remember to search you if the boys working for them ask you to give money and you refuse. Sometimes, they just sit down under the shade, while those local boys harass drivers and park anyone who refuses to give money.
“My greatest unhappiness is about those boys. Because they are running errands for military men, if they look at you and feel you are not obeying them, they just park you. Very saucy people.”
