This is even when the curfew imposed by the Federal Government of Nigeria to checkmate the rapid spread of the dreaded coronavirus was yet to be lifted.

Commercial motorcyclists,  popularly called Okada and tricyclices (Keke Napep) took advantage of the situation and were observed making  brisk business, while security operatives were helplessly watching.

Food stuffs were moved from one location to another,  but security operatives were stopping vehicular movement heading to Abuja city centre.
