Friday Olokor, Deborah Tolu-Kolawole, Solomon Odeniyi, Ikenna Obianeri, Gibson Achonu, Raphael Ede and Sunday NwakanmaHoodlums, suspected to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, on Tuesday, stormed the St Theresa Catholic Church, Calcutta Parish, Awada, near the Ukaegbu junction, Onitsha, in a bid to enforce the sit-at-home directive.

It was gathered that the priest answered them in a diplomatic manner by telling them, “Yes, we are in church to pray for Kanu.” Major roads were deserted and markets and motor parks were locked up, while banks remained shut in Onitsha. The popular Relief Market and the Lagos/Abuja motor park along Egbu Road, as well as the state-owned Imo Transport Company, all in Owerri, were on total lockdown.

Economic and social activities were grounded in Enugu, the capital of Enugu State, and its environs on Tuesday as a result of the solidarity sit-at-home order by IPOB for their leader, Kanu. Major highways and streets were all deserted. There were no security personnel at all the checkpoints around the state capital, which normally constitute gridlock in the city centre.

2023: APC, PDP lack genuine reason not to zone presidential tickets to South-East, says lawmakerThe All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party have no genuine reason not to zone their Presidential tickets to the South-East geopolitical zone, the Leader of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Hon. Victor Chukwu, has said. Perhaps, because they see the South-East as the Region of politically conquered, caged and controlled second class citizens living in Nigeria.
