Default Front Brake jammed :(

Hi Guys,
Today as I was riding, and gently squeezing my front brake lever, suddenly it felt jammed, I thought something got stuck, so I stopped (using the rear) and checked..
The lever has minimal movement but I couldn't see anything obstructing it , the pads looked OK to me (they seem to be almost touching the rotors which is the same as the rear).

So now if I grab a full handle on it , it squeezes just a a tiny bit, it will stop it on walking speed, but anything above that, almost no effect.

Any ideas of what could be wrong, will be appreciated.

Regards

A.
