Abuja was thrown into confusion Monday morning as security forces blocked major routes leading to Eagles Square and the Federal Secretariat to prevent planned protests against the emergency rule in Rivers State and the controversial cybercrime law.
Reports has it that police deployed vehicles to barricade the area before dawn, disrupting regular movement.
Commuters and workers heading to offices near the protest zone were left stranded or forced to disembark and walk under close police surveillance.
The blockade caused heavy traffic congestion and chaotic scenes as frustrated citizens attempted to navigate the restricted area.
Security agencies have yet to provide an official explanation for the disruption.
