Biafra Day: Empty streets, markets in Umuahia as residents stay indoors [PHOTOS]

Following the sit-at-home order I in celebration of biafra day, the streets of Umuahia the Abia State capital are virtually empty and deserted as residents remain indoors in total compliance.

Unlike previous years when the exercise recorded partial compliance in the Umuahia where the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu hails from, the capital city was completely shut down.

As at 9:00 am the streets were still empty. All shops in the street without any exception were under lock and key, no trader nor buyer was sighted as the market was completely deserted.

Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu had on Sunday night said Abia traders would not be compelled to open their shops today if they chose not to do so.

Kanu had in his early morning live broadcast on Facebook and other social media platforms expressed rage over the non-compliance attitude of Umuahia, Enugu and Abakaliki to similar orders in the past.

He warned them to ensure total compliance to the sit-at-home order this year.
