Nnamdi Kanu trial: Anambra residents observe sit-at-home

Residents of Anambra State, on Wednesday, stayed indoors to observe the fixed sit-at-home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to prevail on the Nigeria Government to set free its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Tribune Online gathered that all motor parks, banks, shops markets across the major cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi, were shut down.

However, town service buses, like shuttle buses, Keke, motorcycles, were sighted operating only on inner streets, just as compound shops were also half-door open to serve the people around the neighbourhood.

A Trader at Awkuzu junction, in Oyi Local Government Area of the state, Mama Opeyemi, who deals in Herbs, popular known as “Agboo” in the Yoruba Language, who spoke to Tribune Online, appealed to the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu, noting that the non-indigenes were the ones suffering the most heat of the order, “because anything we do here involved money”.

“I am appealing to Baba Buhari to leave Nnamdi Kanu alone so that our businesses will return as usual. Since Saturday, last week, we have been at home as a result of the just concluded governorship election and today again, another sit-at-home. I am begging President Buhari to pity us and free Nnamdi Kanu,” she said.

Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu, who appeared in court on Wednesday, was later returned to the custody of the Department of State Services, following a misunderstanding.

It was gathered that Nnamdi Kanu, protested the refusal of the Department of State Services, DSS, to allow some lawyers access into the Abuja Federal High Court.
