Security operatives have blocked roads leading to the Court of Appeal in Abuja, venue of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.

The operatives include the police, army, and civil defence.

Roads from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) Headquarters, Federal Secretariat and Ministry of Finance were blocked by the operatives.

It is suggested that the barricade might be connected to President Muhammadu Buhari’s expected appearance during proceedings on Wednesday.

The tribunal is expected to begin pre-hearing session Wednesday on the petition by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
