The road leads to the headquarters of the INEC in the state.
A major road in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, is still being barricaded by the police even when elections in the state have been concluded and results announced.
Apart from the presence of anti-riot police officers and the police trucks stationed in the middle of the road from both ends, discarded tyres, sticks, and sundry items are used by the police to form a roadblock, therefore preventing vehicles from driving through it. When a PREMIUM TIMES reporter tried to drive through the road to the federal high court on Friday, he was stopped by fierce-looking police officers who directed him to make use of an untarred bypass.
