The government of Enugu State has urged residents to ignore the sit-at-home order being imposed by some IPOB members in the South-East regions and to continue with their regular daily activities.
All hospitals, marketplaces, banks, retail stores, schools, markets, transports, and malls were required to be open every day of the week, including Mondays.
It stressed that the states’ team would be traveling about to ensure compliance and warned that violators of the directive could be forced to shut shop with immediate effect.

The call came after the state recently banned and cancelled the sit-at-home campaign, according to a statement released on Saturday by the state government.
The statement reads, “This is to inform all schools, markets, banks, retail outlets, hospitals, transporters, malls and the general members of the public that, in view of the recent ban/cancellation of Mondays’ sit-at-home by the Government of Enugu State, in all nooks and crannies of the state, they have been directed to go about their normal businesses and activities every day of the week, including Mondays.
“The above-mentioned bodies and others alike are required to comply with the directive as adequate security measures have been taken to guarantee their safety.
“Members of the government’s taskforce will be moving around to monitor compliance. Any market, transport outlet, or any other body that fails to open for business risks being shut down.”
