Anambra Governor orders businesses open, but IPOB sit-at-home directive causes widespread closures and economic disruption.
Despite Anambra Governor Charles Soludo's order for businesses to operate, many in Awka and nearby cities adhered to a sit-at-home directive attributed to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). This led to widespread closures of schools and businesses, causing significant economic disruption. IPOB later denied issuing the order, calling it a hoax from infiltrators. The group urged residents to resume normal activities, emphasizing their commitment to safety and order.
