Despite Ekpa’s warning against disobedience to his order, commercial activities have been in full force in Awka, the state capital and other major cities in the state.

The many residents of Anambra State have defied the sit-at-home order.

They defied two-week sit-at-home order issued by Simon Ekpa, the Finland-based pro-Biafra agitator and self-acclaimed disciple of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

Despite Ekpa’s warning against disobedience to his order, commercial activities have been in full force in Awka, the state capital and other major cities in the state.

The state Governor, Charles Soludo had, a few days ago, held meetings with stakeholders in the state including traders, managers of commercial banks amongst others, over the Ekpa’s illegal sit-at-home order.

Checks in Awka on Thursday morning showed that traders, businesses and transporters and banks were open for business.

Commercial activities are fully on in the popular Eke-Awka and Nkwo Amaenyi markets, while transporters and transport companies including Star Sunny Motors, Anambra Executive, amongst others were operational. Also, commercial buses and tricycles within the city are operating fully.

SaharaReporters gathered that the situation is the same in Onitsha, Ekwulobia and Nnewi.
