The sit-at-home directive, typically observed on Mondays, was initiated by the Indigenous People of Biafra, a separatist group, to demand the release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who has been detained since 2021 after being re-arrested by the Federal Government.
IPOB later denied any involvement in the enforcement of the sit-at-home protest but the directive has been hijacked in the Southeast region by other non-state actors by then.Mbah cited its harmful impact on the local economy.
He said, “We no longer observe sit-at-home in Enugu. Our people go to work every day of the week, and we no longer take orders from non-state actors.”
