Motorists and travellers on the Benin-Agbor-Asaba route in Nigeria have been stranded for days due to severe traffic congestion, which has persisted for about five days. The gridlock has disrupted movement between the South-South, South-East, and Lagos, with some travellers unable to reach their destinations. The situation is attributed to the poor condition of sections of the road, worsened by heavy rainfall that has made portions difficult to navigate, causing vehicles to get stuck. The route is a major link for travellers between Lagos and several states, making the prolonged congestion a significant concern.
