SOUTH-EAST GROUNDED AS RESIDENTS COMPLY WITH SIT-AT-HOME ORDER
The five South-east states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo, were shut down yesterday following the residents’ compliance with the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The annual sit-at-home order, according to IPOB, is to honour fallen heroes of the Biafra in the 30-month civil war with Nigeria and those killed by security forces in the ongoing crackdown on separatist agitators.
Intelligence gathered that despite the assurance by the police that they would provide security for the people to go about their normal business, residents of the geopolitical zone, scared by possibility of violent attacks on defiant ones, kept indoors.
Streets were devoid of human and vehicular movements and markets, schools as well as banks were shut.
Not even threats of sanction from state governments could make civil servants to report for duty as government offices in the five states were also closed.
