The Enugu State Government has urged its residents to disregard the Monday sit-at-home order by the banned Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and go about their normal businesses.
The State Government’s directive, which was issued by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Chidiebere Onyia, and was contained in a statement he signed, threatened to sanction civil servants, schools, and markets that observe the illegal order.
According to the statement, The Enugu State Government wishes to remind the good people and residents of the state that the ban on the illegal Monday sit-at-home order remains effective. In view of this, civil servants, schools, markets, financial institutions, business premises, and others, are hereby directed to resume normal activities on Monday”.
The SSG restated the State government’s resolve to apply sanctions against defaulters who defy its cancellation of the illegal order.
“Markets that fail to open to customers on Monday shall be shut down indefinitely and shops in the markets that close on Monday shall be sealed and re-allocated to those eager to do business in the state, he declared.
