IPOB threatens to recommence every Monday sit-at-home protest

Despite the suspension of the sit-at-home order in the south-east by the proscribed indigenous people of BIAFRA, activities were grounded in some parts of the region.

This was as the IPOB made a U-turn and threatened to recommence the ‘every Monday’ sit-at-home protest starting from August 23.

Banks, schools, shops and other businesses did not open for work in many parts of Abia, Ebonyi, Imo and Anambra states, while traders and other business concerns opened in Enugu state.

In Abakaliki, the Ebonyi state capital, commercial banks and other businesses remained shut as the sit-at-home order was observed irrespective of the suspension of the directive.

Reports also say that that banks, motor parks, filling stations, eateries, major shops and supermarkets remained closed in the state capital.
