Ibadan Expressway were stranded for over seven hours yesterday following a prolonged traffic gridlock caused by the National Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God(RCCG). Those heading to the east and other parts of the country for the weekend from Lagos as well as those journeying to Lagos from different locations were pinned to a spot during the lockdown. Though operatives of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) from Ogun, Oyo and Lagos Commands made frantic efforts to control traffic jam, the nightmare had worsened by noon. At the RCCG Camp KM 46 stretch of the expressway, the situation became chaotic as worshippers desperate to beat the gridlock before the end of the convention compounded the stand-still. The weeklong convention, which started last Monday, peaked yesterday thousands of worshippers trooped into the camp. Others struggled to leave the convention, which ends today. An Abeokuta-based transporter, Mr Nurein Mudashiru, told our correspondent that he spent six hours in the jam for a return trip from Lagos – Abeokuta. The Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun, Adegoke Adetunji, told The Nation that the convergence of large number of worshippers as well as those wishing to go home caused the traffic jam.
