Residents of Akure, the Ondo State capital, did not participate in the nationwide protest slated for today, August 1.
While monitoring the situation in the state capital, TVN observed that a few vehicles were moving on the streets while shops were under lock and key.
Also, the markets in the city were all closed down as traders locked their shops for fear of possible violence.
At the busy Olukayode Complex, the traders, mostly men, were seen playing football on a section of the road adjacent to the central mosque.
Meanwhile, security operatives were strategically positioned at various junctions in the state capital to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
