State governments and security agencies have announced a raft of measures aimed at ensuring security as the nation marks the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
The measures, including the protection of national assets and vulnerable locations, come amid ongoing security challenges and a recent alert over possible attacks during the festive period.
In Borno State, the government announced a temporary restriction on vehicular and human movement across the state to ensure the peaceful conduct of Eid prayers.
The restriction, approved by Governor Babagana Zulum, will take effect from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday and will apply to all vehicles, tricycles and motorcycles.
The measure follows a security advisory issued by the Nigerian military warning of possible terrorist attacks in crowded locations across the country.
