Business operators in Kwara and neighbouring states have heaved a sigh of relief as free movement of goods and traffic has been achieved after some hoodlums reportedly blocked the Ilorin-Jebba Expressway at the weekend.
It was reported at the weekend that truck loads of food items from the northern parts of the country were denied entry into Kwara State and other states of the South West.
New Telegraph checks revealed that some Hausa youths, stationed on the outskirts of Niger State, popularly called Kara-Jebba, near Jebba in Kwara State, between last Thursday and Friday, stopped many truck drivers carrying food items such as tomatoes, beans, yams, cattle, pepper, among others, from going further from Kara into Kwara and other states in the South West or they were asked to turn back.
