Streets deserted in Imo despite cancellation of sit-at-home order by IPOB

Major parts of Owerri, the capital of Imo state, were deserted on Monday morning despite the cancellation of the sit-at-home order by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Recall that the pro-Biafra group had earlier announced that every Monday, the entire Southeast and some parts of Southsouth would be on a lockdown, as part of measures to force the Federal Government to release Kanu unconditionally.

Last Monday’s sit-at-home received condemnation in several quarters, especially as it affected students writing their National Examination Council (NECO) Mathematics examination.
