Calm and orderliness that the king Square(Ring Road), in Benin City has experienced in the last three and half years seems to have been shattered as chaos has fully returned.
A check by Wawareporters at about 2.00pm, Thursday shows that the members of the Public Works Volunteers, (serving as taxforce against indiscriminate parking and loading by commercial drivers ) were not on duty posts, leaving traffic management and Control for Edo State Traffic Management Agency (EDSTMA( who is responsible for maintaining smoth traffic flow in Benin City and it’s environs.
It is believed that they abandoned their duty posts apparently to avoid clashes with drivers as the Edo State governorship election draws closer.
Buses and cabs were seen blocking the Forestry Road as they struggle for passengers,making it difficult for driver accessing the road to have their way and causing serious traffic hold up that stretched to almost Sakponba Road Junction.
