Motorists and other road users had a hectic moment on Lokoja-Abuja highway on Monday as flood took over the section where a new bridge is being constructed around Koton Karfe town in Kogi State.

Commuters were held up for several hours, resulting in heavy traffic jam that extended to Lokoja-Koton-Karfe road.

Many vehicles got trapped as there was no alternative routes.
