Sit-At-Home: Imo Witnesses Partial Compliance

The sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB)
witnessed a partial compliance in Imo State as most shops and other
public places visited by our correspondent were initially under
lock and key at the early hours of 7 and 8 am, but most of them
mostly standing in front if their shops started opening them from
10 am.

At Orlu, believed to be the centre of mayhem in recent times the
situation is different as the roads such Banana junction, Okporo
among others were completely deserted and shops closed except for
vehicles of security operatives patrolling the roads.

All banks were also shut down in the State, few of the places
visited by our correspondent only saw the staff in skeletal
functions why their entrance door remain closed to customers as at
the time of this report.

It was the same situation at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo
Airport,Owerri. Although only 3 airlines have touched the tarmac as
the time of this report but the passenger remain stranded as there
are no airport taxis or even commercial motorcycles to take the
passengers to their various destinations.

The road leading to the airport is completely a shadow of
itself, even those local vendors selling around the airport did not
turn up for their daily business.

However, the popular Douglas road where the Eke -Ukwu Owerri is
located is partially open for business. As at the time of this
report, some of those who did not open for business gathered
courage and came out while others still remain closed.
