Residents of Enugu State on Monday defied the regular
sit-at-home order in the state.
The residents filed out in their thousands to protest
against the Monday sit-at-home order.
The protesters carried banners that read “Enough is Enough”
as they marched through some streets.
In the past two years, residents of the Southeast have been
observing a sit-at-home that was ordered by a faction of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB).
Initially, IPOB started the sit-at-home campaign to push for
the release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
But the initiative was hijacked by Simon Ekpa, who has
allegedly been empowering thugs to cause havoc in the region under the guise of
enforcing the order.
The sit-at-home has led to economic hardship in the region
as people hardly come out on Mondays and whenever the order is given.
Ekpa recently ordered Southeast residents to stay at home
for one week.
On Sunday, the Enugu State government threatened to sanction
anybody, groups, or organisations that observe the sit-at-home.
