Biafra Day: IPOB’s Sit-At-Home Order Registers Total Compliance In South-East [Photos/Video]

The whole of South-Eastern region recorded total compliance with the sit-at-home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

KanyiDaily recalls that the IPOB had declared that everybody in the South East must observe a sit-at-home order on Monday, 31st May, in commemoration with this year’s annual Biafra Remembrance Day.

Streets, markets, banks, motor parks and other commercial places, including schools and government offices, were deserted on Monday in compliance with the order.

In Abia State, streets were deserted and shops are under lock and key while in Anambra State, the situation is the same, Channels TV report.

Economic and social activities have been halted and there is a heavy security presence in major locations of the state to maintain law and order.

The situation is not too different in Ebonyi and Imo states as few vehicles were seen on the highway. The inner streets were deserted with security men positioned at different locations.

Many businesses in Delta State capital, Asaba were also shut as residents comply with the sit-at-home order. Banks and major shopping malls were closed.

At the popular wood market along the Asaba-Onitsha expressway, most shops were closed with a few traders around.

The expressway leading to the head bridge was completely deserted while businesses along the expressway were also shut.
