Commuters were on Thursday stranded in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital as commercial transporters withheld their services.
Kogi Updates gathered that this was to protest the high cost of fuel pump price in the State.
Okada riders, tricyclists and other intra-city commercial transporters were forced off the road by their aggrieved members who complained bitterly about the high cost of fuel.
As a result of the development, many commuters who were stranded had to trek many kilometers to their destinations.
Passengers on Okada and tricycles were forcefully disembarked and made to trek. However, private motorists were allowed free movement.
Kogi Updates reports that fuel price in the state capital is between N1,100 and N1,200 per litre against the official price of N895 announced by the NNPC.
The action of the aggrieved transporters which started at about 7:00 am, forced some filling stations in Ilorin to stop sales due to the fear that their facilities could be attacked and razed down.
Also, some commercial shops in the state capital were closed for business to prevent looting if the situation escalates.
