Sit-at-home: Life returns to normal in Awka

By Vincent Ujumadu – Awka Monday activities were gradually returning to normal in Awka, Anambra State, with inter and intra city transport operating, just as the banks, shops, and schools were open for business.The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had declared every Monday as sit-at-home following the detention of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.Although the media and publicity secretary of IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful had since announced the suspension of the sit-at-home unless the day Kanu would appear in court, some members of the group insisted that the weekly sit-at-home must continue.Following the apparent confusion, many people have been staying at home even without any threat.Yesterday, however, many people went about their normal businesses in the morning, while full business picked up later in the day.
