Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has asked those behind the Monday sit-at-home in the south-east region to stop the exercise.
Kanu spoke through his lead counsel, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), said he does not believe in the sit-at-home, insisting he could not be fighting for his people and at the same time shutting down their economy.
He cited the effect of the sit-at-home exercise on the social, economic, cultural and political life of the people, lamenting that it has put the Igbo under psychological, psychical and mental stricture.
“I am now re-echoing again and again what Nnamdi Kanu has told me, ”He does not believe in that sit-at-home on Mondays,” which cripples the social, economic, cultural and political life of the people, putting them under psychological psychical and mental stricture and torture,” he said.
Many Imo residents however remained indoors on Monday due to fear of the unknown.
However, the governor sealed shops of business owners who refused to open business on Monday, July 24.
Similarly, the Enugu state governor, Peter Mbah, ordered residents of the state to ignore the sit-at-home order and continue their businesses.
