Nigeria has banned all cars, public transport, horses, donkeys and camels in Borno state to prevent an attack by militant group Boko Haram over the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday.
The ban came into effect on Wednesday evening and lasts until Friday.
Borno is the home of Boko Haram and its state capital Maiduguri was hit by a triple bombing on Sunday which killed at least 54 people.
Some 17,000 people are said to have been killed in the six-year insurgency.
Attacks have intensified since Muhammadu Buhari became president in May, after winning elections.
