There was total compliance on Wednesday in Anambra state to the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).<\/p>\n
The directive was over the appearance of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in court.<\/p>\n
Security operatives were not seen in major parts of the state and residents stayed indoors for fear molestation and other mishaps over disobedience to the order by members of the Pro \u2013 Biafra movement.<\/p>\n
All schools, banks, markets and commercial activities were shut down in all the cities of Anambra.<\/p>\n
In Onitsha, the commercial hub of the state, the Onitsha Main Market and other markets within and environs were also closed and the traders stayed away in their homes, even when there was formal announcement to obey.<\/p>\n
The banks, schools, filling stations, motor parks and major roads were not spared in this.<\/p>\n
The beer parlours where people took off their time to enjoy some bottles of liquor witnessed patronage as consolation for the day.<\/p>\n
The youths, in their mid-term break were busy converting Streets to play football.<\/p>\n
But an old and trader who did not want his name in the print questioned when the sit-at-home order will stop.<\/p>\n
He said: “from the look of things Nnamdi kanu case with Federal Government will not end soonest as person perceived.”<\/p>\n
However, Anambra Police spokesman, Ikenga Tochukwu, denied security operatives were nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n
He said the operatives were everywhere from Nnewi to Awka, Ekwulobia and Onitsha.<\/p>\n
According to him: \u201d I told you I just came from onitsha now to work and our police personnel are everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
