The Sit-At-Home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB on its members Wednesday flopped in Ebonyi State as citizens of the state were seen going about their normal businesses without harassment and intimidation
Recall that Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State had during his May 29th Democracy celebration warned that any trader that closes his shop in line with the directive of IPOB would forfeit it forever.
The Abakaliki Main Market, Meat Market and Kpirikpiri markets within the metropolis were all opened for business transaction as a joint patrol of major security agencies with over 20 vehicles were seen patrolling the streets of the city to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
The major streets like Water Walks, Ogoja road and Gunning road were busy and had heavy vehicular traffic like any other day. The Nigeria Police Force, Ebonyi Command in Abakaliki urged residents of Abakaliki to ignore the sit – at – home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) describing the order as unlawful.
Meanwhile, there was zero compliance by Abakaliki residents to the sit-at-home as government offices, shops, private and public schools, banks as well as commercial activities within the Abakaliki metropolis remained opened for businesses and operation.
