Between 'ghost' Monday and 'holy' Monday, therefore, the latter seems more plausible. And we dare say we are going for it. Let justice be allowed by all and sundry to do its job.
The voluble Spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra Emma Powerful had released a statement recently indicating that starting from Monday next week the south-east region would be subjected to a total lockdown in protest against the continuing incarceration of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

to"cripple the Nigerian economy until they free Kanu". And continued thus:"Consequently, all institutions, public and private, transport companies, schools, banks, markets, airports and seaports in Biafra land must shut down every Monday beginning from August 9....People are to remain indoors to register their concern over the fate of our Leader and the rest of all agitators languishing in various security detentions".
