Heavy deployments of police and soldiers cordoned off major access roads leading to Eagle Square, restricting movement and forcing many accredited journalists to trek long distances to access the venue. Despite possessing valid accreditation tags, several reporters were turned back at checkpoints, while some security personnel allegedly threatened to open fire on those attempting to gain entry. Some journalists who eventually gained access sought temporary shelter at the Nasarawa State Pavilion but were later driven away following verbal confrontations with party delegates.
