The Police have released tear gas to disperse protesters who blocked the Kaduna-Zaria expressway on Thursday.
Nigerians began a nationwide protest against hunger in the country on Thursday.
The protesters had earlier blocked the Gwargwaje junction of the road in Zaria, causing a traffic gridlock of trucks traveling to Kano.
The Police who tried to convince the youth to allow free vehicular movement were pelted, a situation that prompted the security officers to use tear gas on them.
