Commercial activities were brought to a close today being, Monday in Owerri as residents deserted the Imo State capital in compliance to the sit-at-home order issued by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra led by Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB, through its Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, had said human and vehicular movement would be restricted across the South-East on Monday to mark the anniversary of the Biafra 54 years ago.
QuickNews Africa gathered that commercial banks, schools, shops, malls, were all shut in Owerri on Monday morning.
Also, commercial and private vehicles fled the roads in the state capital for fear of being shot by IPOB operatives.
According to Punch News, efforts to get the reaction of the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Bala Elkana, proved abortive as his line was switched off as of the time of this report.
