According to reports, a group of armed security personnel, including Guards Brigade troops, have blocked off the routes leading to the meeting location on Blantyre Street.
Similarly, there are now restrictions on both human and vehicle movement on Blantyre Street.
All members of the National Working Committee (NWC), the Forum of State Chairmen, former Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari, Minister of Budget and National Planning Atiku Bagudu, and Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu are among those that arrived early at the location.
