IPOB’s sit-at-home: Enugu governor threatens traders who fail to open their shops

PREMIUM TIMES NEWS

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has again threatened to revoke shops in various markets in the state if the owners in obedience to the sit-at-home order fail to open their shops on Mondays.

The sit-at-home order is being enforced by a faction of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Mr Mbah stated this on Monday when he visited Ogbete Main Market in Enugu while monitoring the effectiveness of a ban he placed on the sit-at-home order in the state.

The governor had, in June, banned the Monday sit-at-home in the state, explaining that the civil action was killing the “spirit of entrepreneurship, commerce and creativity” of Igbo people in the South-east region.
