The sit-at-home ordered by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, in memory of fallen Biafra soldiers, was well complied with by the people of the state.
Reports across major cities in the state showed that major roads and streets are deserted by the people who remained indoor despite the heavy presence of security operatives.
The presence of the Military, Police, Navy and other security agencies on the roads Monday in the State did not stop the people obeying IPOB’s order. Residents who spoke with newsmen said they remained in their houses to avoid being killed by hoodlums and gunmen.
Checks across major markets in the state also showed that all markets were shuts as traders refused to open for business.
Meanwhile, the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of zone-13 Ukpo, Mallam Garba Mohammed, assured Governor Willie Obiano that he would help his government to recover the state from hoodlums.
He spoke Monday in Obiano’s Aguleri country home in Anambra East local government area, when he paid him a courtesy visit.
Mohammed said they would redesign a more technical measure and expertise to tackle insecurity by deploying additional personnel to strategic places in the state.
Responding, Obiano pleaded with the AIG to move into action in order to ensure prompt response to emergency situations, adding, this would help to sustain the confidence of the public in them.
