Most roads and streets in the Southeast of Nigeria are empty, no thanks to the sit at home order by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB. The organization had issued a sit at home order this Thursday in respect to the appearance in court of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Abuja.

Reports from Umuahia, Awka, Enugu, Owerri and Abakaliki say that residents stay at home even as all shops, banks, schools, markets and government offices had remained under lock and key. It would be recalled that every Monday in the Southeast States had been declared sit at home by IPOB and which have always been obeyed to the letter despite fruitless efforts by governments of the States to dilute the order. The organization had ordered that as long as their leader was not brought before a court of law, every Monday would remain locked down in the geopolitical zone.

However, with the appearance today in court of Kanu, the Monday sit at home would be a thing of the past except days he would appear in court though the organization has not reinforced the belief through a public statement. The situation would be clear in the coming days.
