The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has banned the use of drones, fireworks and other devices capable of causing panic as the state prepares to receive President Bola Tinubu on a one-day working visit on Friday.
Tinubu is expected to commission projects executed by the administration of Governor Umo Eno and attend a political rally organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Baba Azare, announced the restrictions at a news conference in Uyo on Thursday, describing them as part of measures to ensure a peaceful visit and protect residents.
