Residents of the university town of Nsukka, Enugu State observed on Thursday the sit-at-home order declared by Igbo separatist group Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to protest President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Imo State.
Daily Sun monitored the situation in Nsukka and surrounding areas and observed that banks, markets, schools, and roadside shops were all shut, with major social activities brought to a halt by residents in compliance with the order.
‘Nothing is happening here in terms of social and economic activity, market, banks, and lock-up shops are all under lock and key.
‘Although the environment is calm for now, everybody is at home and the roads are empty and deserted,’ he said.
