A morning tour of Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State, on Thursday revealed no signs of protests.

The areas visited by journalists were clear of any gatherings.

At the popular post office along the Lokoja-Kabba/Okene road, traders were seen cautiously opening their shops halfway, carefully assessing the safety situation before fully opening.

Security personnel, including police, civil defence officers, and local vigilantes, were observed patrolling key locations throughout the town.

At the Secretariat of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, police were stationed at the gate, monitoring the movement of individuals entering and exiting the venue of the state-organised engagement programme.
