Police Enforce Drone Ban and Traffic Restrictions for Tinubu's Visit
Ahead of President Bola Tinubu's visit to Akwa Ibom on Friday, the Akwa Ibom State Police Command has announced a ban on drone operations and fireworks in Uyo. Commissioner of Police Baba Mohammed Azare disclosed these measures during a briefing at the Police Headquarters in Ikot Akpan Abia, Uyo.
The restrictions are intended to maintain public order, protect strategic locations, and ensure the smooth movement of the President's convoy. Azare stated that there would be a total restriction on drone flying throughout the visit period and urged compliance from the public.
Additionally, fireworks and other explosive sound-producing devices are banned to prevent panic and allow security personnel to respond to genuine threats. Temporary restrictions will also be placed on public access to specific routes in Uyo, including Airport Road and Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, to facilitate the President's movements.
Tinubu's visit includes the inauguration of major infrastructure projects under Governor Umo Eno's ARISE Agenda.
