Lagos government says traffic will be restricted between the Police Zonal Headquarters, Zone 2 and Onikan Roundabout from 10 a.m.
The Lagos State government has issued a traffic advisory for the APC women's rally scheduled for Wednesday at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena (Old Onikan Stadium), Onikan area of the state.

The commissioner said that traffic will be restricted between the Police Zonal Headquarters, Zone 2 and Onikan Roundabout from 10 a.m.
He urged motorists to make use of Island Club road by Police Headquarters Zone 2, Onikan to connect their desired destinations through alternative routes.
Mr Oladeinde explained that motorists from Victoria Island can make use of Ozumba Mbadiwe road through Five Cowrie Bridge (Falomo Bridge) to access Alfred Rewane road to Osborne road and connect their destinations or go through Bonny Camp to access CMS/ Marina Bridge after Independence Bridge (Mekunwen Bridge) and loop it down towards Cathedral Church to link Lagos Island through Odunlami Street to continue their journeys.
He also said that motorists can utilise Force Road beside Muson Centre to J.K Randle Avenue (Race Course) to Water Board to Old Broad Street to complete their journeys.
