Following an attack by armed bandits on their village, people from Goningora in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State blocked the Abuja-Kaduna highway on Thursday.
The unscrupulous robbers attacked the community on Wednesday night, killing at least two people and taking seven others hostage.
Residents were upset about what was going on and took to the streets on Thursday morning, stopping the busy highway between Abuja and Kaduna.
The change has made the road very crowded, leaving many drivers and tourists stuck.
In just seven days, troops killed Boderi Isyaku, a notorious bandit leader, and some of his fighters in the same Chikun LGA as the latest attack on the Goningora tribe.
