The popular Ahmadu Bello Way located in the Central Business District of the Kaduna State capital is empty without the usual vehicular and human traffic.

On a normal day, this place would have been bubbling with economic activities by this time, but not at all today.

Public transportation systems are operating at reduced capacity because most commuters are staying indoors apparently due to fear.

As the protests continue to unfold,  many shops and businesses around Junction Road, Ahmadu Bello Way, Sabon Tasha,  Kawo, and Mando have closed their doors as a precautionary measure.

Traders and vendors have opted to stay away from markets and trading centers due to the planned protest.

This decision aims to ensure their safety and protect their goods and properties from potential damage or looting.

Security personnel have been deployed to strategic locations and identified flash points to maintain order and protect the citizens and even the protesters in the event they come out.
