The Airport Road serves as major entrance and exit to the capital city.
Protesters calling for police reforms in the country and an end to Nigeria’s dreaded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) have blocked the Abuja Airport Road.
The protesters, mostly youth, took their campaign to the FCT Airport Road which serves as a major entrance and exit to the capital city on Friday afternoon.
The campaign, which has drawn attention from different parts of the world, has been on for over a week.
The FCT administration on Wednesday announced a ban on protests in the capital city, citing health concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Demonstrators disobeyed the order and continued with the protests on Thursday and Friday.
