Protesters have blocked Funtua-Scheme road over the killing of their kinsmen by bandits.
Our reporter, who is among the passengers trapped along the road, reports that dozens of vehicles and passengers were stranded as of the time of publishing this report.
The stranded passengers, mostly women and children, were women seen desperately searching for drinking water from their fellow passengers and the neighbouring communities.
One of the motorists told our reporter that the protesters had blocked the road since Tuesday night despite the presence of policemen.
“Some people were said to have slept here,” he said.
The protesters were seen burning tyres on the road.
Our reporter observed that the military personnel were deployed to disperse the protesters.
