Unrest along Airport Road in Abuja as commercial motorcyclists protest task force impounding their motorcyles (video)

There was chaos along the Airport Road in Abuja on Monday, August 8, as some youths laid siege on the road.

It was caused by commercial motorcyclists, mostly of Northern extraction, who attacked Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIOs) for seizing their bikes.

The mob threw sticks and stones at commuters and vehicles passing the expressway in Lugbe, which links several communities and is used to connect the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

They also burnt tyres.

A number of vehicles made u-turns and drove against traffic to avoid the chaos.
