Our correspondent who went round various places in Aba including Ariaria International Market, Power Line, Bakassi Shoe Plaza, Ahia Ohuru, Shopping Center and Cemetery markets respectively reports that a lot of residents and visitors were seen making their last shopping preparatory to the sit-at-home call by the IPOB.

At Milverton off Asa road and Hospital road by Mosque, many persons, especially those who are travelling to other parts of the country that were in Aba to buy either footwears or clothing materials were seen inspecting their goods as they were being loaded in various luxurious buses.

Unlike other Saturdays in Aba, the roads were busy with passengers and vehicles coming in and leaving Aba in droves.

Transport fares at the time of filing the report have not been affected by the surge, but some of the shoppers including Mr. and Mrs. Essien who told our correspondent that they came to Aba from Ghana after attending a function in Enugu State complained of a hike in the price of goods and commodities.

According to Mr. and Mrs. Essien, they had to cut short their stay in Enugu to enable them to come to Aba to shop as Monday is expected to be observed as a sit-at-home.

The couple who recalled being trapped sometime in the east as a result of the sit-at-home exercise stated that they would be boarding a bus to Lagos tonight in order not to be caught in the web of the sit-at-home order.

A trader, Mr. Vincent Chiemela stated that the traders are selling their goods with caution as they would not predict what will be the outcome of the Monday sit-at-home order, but denied a hike in prices of goods and other essential commodities.

According to Chiemela, whatever price of goods in the market is determined by the suppliers of such goods.

 

Meanwhile, the Abia State Police Command has enjoined residents and visitors to the state to disregard the IPOB, MASSOB or any other Pro-Biafra group sit-at-home order.

This was contained in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, on Saturday on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, CP Janet Agbede urged Abians to go about their lawful duties and businesses without any fear of intimidation or molestation.

IPOB Sit-at-home: Condemnations trail Nnamdi Kanu’s threat to South-east residents

 Mr Kanu threatened death to anyone who fails to observe the sit-at-home order.

Condemnations have trailed the threat issued to people of South-east by the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu on the sit-at-home order.

Mr Kanu had in a broadcast declared that the sit-at-home will commence 6p.m. on Saturday till 6p.m. on Monday.

He said the order is compulsory and must be obeyed by all the people in the region. He warned that anyone seen outside will be killed.

“From 6p.m. on the 29th, there will be no movement, this is not sit-at-home but no movement. If you are found outside from 6p.m. you are dead,” he said.

Those who reacted on Saturday condemned the threat by Mr Kanu, stating that it was wrong to threaten the lives of the same people he claims to be fighting for their freedom.

Others noted that the exercise is voluntary and warned Mr Kanu to stop using coercion to get the people to comply.
