Heavy Military Roadblocks Stall Abuja Movement During Sowore-Led Protest for Abducted Schoolchildren

Residents of Abuja woke to heavy military deployments and roadblocks across key routes during a protest led by human rights activist Omoyele Sowore calling for the release of abducted schoolchildren in Oyo State. Armed soldiers and armoured vehicles were stationed around the Federal Secretariat Complex and the Presidential Villa, forcing commuters and workers to trek long distances to offices. Many described the show of force as intimidating and disruptive to daily life. With no official comment yet from security agencies, demonstrators and residents are calling on the government to intensify efforts on child rescue and address the rising insecurity nationwide.
