The sudden closure has caused a massive traffic backlog, with frustrated commuters unable to proceed with their journeys.
Thousands of commuters and pedestrians in Lagos State are facing a severe disruption today (Tuesday) as the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Road has been completely blocked by police operatives.
The blockade, which has left motorists and pedestrians stranded for over two hours, is reportedly due to the planned passage of President Bola Tinubu through the area later today.
An eyewitness at the scene posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the police had set up roadblocks at key intersections along the route, halting all vehicular and foot traffic.

“Reason is that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu is passing the way today”.
