Traders in Enugu, the capital of Nigeria’s Enugu State, are currently protesting the sealing of their businesses by the state government.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the government sealed the businesses on Monday for not opening on Monday, which is a regular sit-at-home day imposed by a faction of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Governor Peter Mbah had, upon assumption of office, placed a ban on the sit-at-home order, but many residents are yet to comply out of fear of possible attack by hoodlums.
The government has recently given conditions the affected traders must meet before their shops would be reopened, but the traders are protesting the sealing of their businesses, saying that they are not IPOB members and should not be punished for the actions of others.
The traders are seen in the video that has gone viral marching within the metropolis, chanting ‘we no go gree‘ and other angry songs.
