Heightened Security in Abuja: Military Presence and Roadblocks Cause Traffic Chaos
The Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, is currently experiencing a surge in security measures, with military and police presence visible throughout the city. Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and patrol cars line the streets, causing traffic disruptions and delays for commuters.
Unexpected roadblocks on key routes like Abuja-Keffi Expressway and Abuja-Kogi axis have left many stranded, as military officers conduct stop-and-search operations. The security crackdown comes amid growing concerns over economic hardship in the country.
The Inspector General of Police has issued warnings about potential violence during planned protests and emphasized the importance of peaceful demonstrations. Reflecting on past unrest, he highlighted the dangers of unchecked protests and urged citizens to protest responsibly.
As Abuja grapples with these security challenges, commuters and residents are urged to cooperate with law enforcement to ensure a safe and orderly environment in the capital.
