Traders in Enugu has been urged resume their normal business activities in view of the sit-at-home order or lose their license and shops.
Governor Peter Mbah, who gave the warning, said adequate security have been provided in the areas, adding that they had not been any incident of attack since the ban on sit-at-home in June.
Recall that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had declared every Monday as a sit-at-home to demand the release of the proscribed group’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Meanwhile, the governor warned that traders, who continued to stay away from their business areas from Monday, July 24, stand to lose their shops to serious-minded businessmen.
He stressed that such sit-at-home orders restrict creativity, entrepreneurship, and productivity in the state, and threatened to close any school, markets, and financial institutions, among others, that obey the order.
To the traders at Ogbete, Garki, and other markets, the governor warned that locking of shops on Mondays would no longer be condoned.
