Tension reportedly escalated around the Jalingo Roadblock on Tuesday following a confrontation between a commercial tricycle (Keke) rider and police officers stationed in the area.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident quickly drew a large crowd, resulting in a temporary disruption of vehicular traffic and pedestrian movement along the busy route.
Security personnel were subsequently deployed to the scene to maintain law and order and prevent the situation from degenerating further.
Authorities have urged motorists and residents to avoid the Roadblock area where possible and cooperate with security operatives as efforts continue to restore normalcy.
Further details surrounding the incident are still emerging.
