It was 100% compliance in the South-East geo-political zone and Igbo speaking areas of the South-South for the Sit-At-Home order proclaimed by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) for all Igbos worldwide.

All forms of businesses were shut down, people stayed indoors and the streets were totally deserted says reports monitored from the State capitals of the five SE states including Umuahia, Owerri, Awka, Abakiliki, and Enugu. Major towns like Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi, and others were also affected.

Similar scenario were witnessed in Asaba, Delta state and Obigbo, Rivers state which are Igbo speaking cities.

IPOB's proclamation of the 'Sit-At-Home' order is  in memory of over five million Igbos and non Igbos from the old Eastern Region and Midwest killed during the Nigeria-Biafra civil war.

DailyLedger.com.ng reports that commercial banks and other financial institutions, including markets, schools, government offices, hospitals and clinics as well as restaurants were all firmly shut across the SE.

Governors of Imo and Ebonyi states, Hope Uzodinma and Dave Umahi had attempted to mobilize their citizens to disobey the sit@home order, but from all indications, their cajoling fell on deaf ears.
