The convoy of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has been blocked by aggrieved protesters along Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Expressway in Abuja.
The protesters blocked the
motorcade on Tuesday as the Vice President was heading to the airport.
His convoy ran into a barricade
at Goza village.
Gbagyi village residents had
gathered on the major road connecting the airport to the city.
They were protesting the alleged
invasion of their land by the military.
Osinbajo’s security aides could
not appease the protesters, forcing the Vice President to step out of his car.
The Vice President’s Special
Assistant on Media on Publicity, Laolu Akande, also confirmed the report in a
tweet, saying, “On his way to the airport just now, VP Osinbajo runs into a
group of FCT residents protesting alleged land takeover bid by the military.
“He gets down, engages the
people, proposing to meet with their leaders on the matter & intervene with
a view to finding an amicable solution.”
