#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters on Thursday blocked the Kaduna-Zaria expressway as part of a nationwide hunger protest.
They initially blocked the Gwargwaje junction in Zaria, creating congestion of trucks bound for Kano.
Despite police efforts to persuade the demonstrators to clear the road, officers were met with resistance and stones, prompting them to deploy tear gas.
The tear gas initially dispersed the protesters, but they soon returned and blocked the road.
Ultimately, the police allowed the protesters to continue their demonstration.
