The people that wrote the article deliberately chose a dodgy headline and did all they could to obfuscate the meaning of the actions in order to get a reaction out of Nigerians (and I'm not surprised that it's by "People"s Gazette" ).

joseph1832:
Is it really safe to hold this marathon at this fragile time?

Furthermore, look at the post just above yours. The Federal Government will totally shut down the Third Mainland Bridge this weekend. This means that both the Eko Bridge and the Third Mainland Bridge will be shut tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the Third Mainland Bridge will also be closed this weekend.
