Feminist Coalition, a group that has been key in organising #EndSars protests against police brutality that have been going on in Nigeria in the last two weeks, has urged people to stay at home.
The Feminist Coalition also advised people to follow any curfews that may be in place in their states.
President Muhammadu Buhari called for an end to the protests in a TV speech on Thursday night.
The streets of Lagos and most of the south-western cities remained quiet on Friday but there is an atmosphere of fear in some neighbourhoods.
President Buhari’s speech has been criticised by some of the protesters on social media but received applause by several other commentators.
The president is chairing a crucial virtual meeting with former Nigerian leaders, including Generals Yakubu Gowon, Olusegun Obasanjo, Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd), Goodluck Jonathan and Earnest Shonekan.
Physically present at the Council Chambers are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Secretary to Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, and National Security Adviser, retired Major General Babagana Monguno.
They are expected to deliberate on the security situation in the country.
