The protest has spread to Berger, a major transit point in Abuja with thousands of motorists and commuters stranded.
According to unconfirmed reports, the reason for the protests is due to the fact that a taxi driver was killed by a task force in the market on Wednesday morning.
More details to follow shortly.
