The protest against widespread insecurity has entered its third day in Nigeria’s capital city.

The protesters, who are demanding improved security, blocked a bridge on Karu-Nyanya expressway, which links Nasarawa State and Abuja.

Wielding placards and chanting anti-government songs, they demanded that the government wake up to its responsibility of protecting lives.

They first converged on a bridge in the axis before marching towards Nyanya.

The demonstration caused heavy traffic congestion along the Abuja-Keffi Expressway, leaving many commuters stranded for hours.
