The sit-at-home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had minimal effect on activities across Imo State on Monday, as markets, schools, and public institutions operated normally.
Residents, traders, and students were seen moving freely, while commercial buses plied major routes and conveyed passengers to their destinations without disruption.
Students attended classes until the close of school for the day, and civil servants were present at their duty posts across the state.
Some residents, who spoke with our reporter, said they were surprised by the sit-at-home order, noting that they were not aware of any directive restricting movement.
A trader, Chidima, said, “I came out for business in Owerri because there’s enough security in the capital city. More importantly, I came out to look for my daily bread, and people in town were moving freely because stores and shops were open without any fear of molestation.”
