Lagosians woke up on Thursday to a hectic situation as most part of the metropolis were on total lockdown.

Thousands
of residents of the state are currently stranded and are made to trek
several kilometres to various destinations as major roads in the
metropolis have been locked down by stern-looking military men and other
paramilitary personnel.

President Muhammadu Buhari is billed to visit Lagos on Thursday to
commission some projects and also participate in the 66th birthday
anniversary of national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Some of the closed highways are ever-busy Lagos-Abeokuta expressway
(both ways), Ikeja-Agege motor road, among others.

According to the Daily Sun, some  pedestrians trying to use their  mobile phones to video the
development were manhandled by security operatives.
