After Sunday’s break, Enugu residents woke up to the normal sit-at-home ordered by Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB to protest the continued detention of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the State Security Services (SSS) and to demand his release.
IPOB’s Directorate of State had reportedly called off the protest in response to appeals by Igbo Elders and leaders in the wake of last Saturday’s Anambra State governorship election.
Many had thought that the sit-at-home had ended only to see that Enugu state remained locked down on Monday.
It was not clear whether it was the usual Ghost Monday or the continuation of the week-long sit-at-home which commenced on November 5, 2021,
All the same, shops, parks, banks, markets; offices; courts; schools and filling stations as well as restaurants, were all shut.
The streets, major roads, high and expressways were bereft of the usual traffic.
There was a low-security patrol on the roads and streets with an armoured police vehicle moving solo.
There have been no reports of any security breach by IPOB trying to enforce compliance.
