Security agents responded swiftly and brought the situation under control.

The security personnel responded to the incident where some youths reportedly obstructed traffic and set ablaze two trucks on the highway.

Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong in a press statement signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Makut Simon Macham, said the intervention of authorities immediately brought the situation under control as the youths were dispersed and the road cleared, restoring traffic flow.

The statement said with the return of normalcy around Gada Biyu and environs, the government is urging citizens to avoid any act that could lead to the breakdown of law and order.
