PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED ATHLETES PROTEST, BLOCK LAGOS HIGHWAY

Some physically-challenged persons on Wednesday staged a protest in the Surulere area of Lagos, causing a traffic gridlock that kept motorists on the roads for hours.

Many who were on their way to work were forced to abandon commercial vehicles and trek long distances to beat the traffic, especially along Funso Williams Avenue.

The protesters, who are athletes, were airing their displeasure about the alleged removal of some sports from the forthcoming National Sports Festival.

They gathered by the National Stadium and insisted that all the Para sports exempted from the festival must be included.
