Governor Peter Mba of Enugu state shuts 106 shops and 2 banks for observing the Monday sit-at-home order by IPOB

On Monday, the Enugu State Government took action against 106 shops and two banks that reportedly observed the sit-at-home order issued by a faction of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra. The closure was carried out by officials from the State Government and Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA).

Governor Peter Mbah had previously warned shop owners and banks about not opening for business on Mondays in compliance with the illegal sit-at-home order. He made this threat while inspecting major markets in Enugu.

The Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, led the exercise and clarified that the intention was not to punish businesses but to foster a culture of non-compliance with the sit-at-home order. He emphasized the importance of solidarity against those attempting to intimidate the state.

Onyia mentioned that the task force created by the State Government would continue monitoring the situation in the markets and would be present again the following Monday.

During the enforcement, they found that 85% of traders showed up in the markets they visited. A total of 106 shops and 2 banks were sealed, but for now, the governor has given instructions not to take any punitive measures.

Some traders expressed their concerns, stating that Mondays were usually unproductive as people feared going out due to security concerns related to the sit-at-home order.

What are your thoughts on this development?

This man must be out of his senses, why putting people's life's in danger, when there is no security to protect them.

Well what did I kW his people out side south east said there's no sit at home in east

Forcing people to open businesses, do the citizens come out to patronise them?
Is adequate security provided in all nooks and corners of the shops?
Hope all measures are in place to forestall any attack on the innocent people for complying ?

Same idiotic leaders we keep recycling. No iota of brain cell.

Ok
