But ina\u00a0 counter move, Media and Publicity Secretary,IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful, urged people to disregard the statement from Kanu&#8217;s brother, warning that anyone who flouts the sit at home order would get it hot.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was partial compliance in the state capital, Umuahia, as keke operators were seen conveying passengers to various destinations. Government offices were open following an announcement by the state government warning workers against absenting themselves from work over the sit at home order.<\/p>\n<p>Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu,had through the Secretary to the State Government,Barr.

But this did not sway business owners in Aba while few shops were open along major roads in Umuahia.<\/p>\n<p>In some other areas of Umuahia, people were seen playing football on the street.<\/p>\n<p>A transport operator who preferred anonymity told Pointblanknews.com that motor unions complied with the sit at home order due to the fear of the attack by hoodlums, adding that shutting businesses with the increasing poverty in the country would adversely affect them.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The commercial city of Aba, Abia state was today shut as residents totally complied with the sit at home protest ordered by the Indigenous People of Biafra ,(IPOB).
