PHOTOS: IPOB/ESN SIT-AT-HOME ORDER: Imo Turns Ghost City
Following May 31st Sit-At-Home Order by the leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, Imo State and Owerri in particular began much earlier on Friday, May 29, 2021.
For today, the city of Owerri is nothing but a city of the ghost. Imo Capital can effectively serve as a setting for movie of vampires.
The major roads in Owerri, Weatheral Road, Douglas, Tetlow, Okigwe Road, and Ikenegbu layout which are usually traffic laden area bubbling and bustling with life are seen deserted.
Of course a trial will only Persuade you to take to your heels because of fright of lifelessness.
Imo Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma had appealed to the people to ignore the order and go about their businesses without any fear of molestation.
Some people attributed the total compliance to the wanton killings in the state so as not to give hoodlums the room to unleash mayhem on the people.
One Ugochukwu Augustine said they compliance should signal the powers that be that all is not well. “Beyond the call by IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, we are tired of this contraception called Nigeria.
“We cannot continue to answer one Nigeria when we are not one in anything. It is the government of their people and by their people and for their ethnic group. People like me are tired. This should tell them how we feel.”
The story is the same in every part of the state. Orlu International market was totally shut while even Ihitte-Uboma Community also was innocent of humans on its paths and roads.
