The Abia Government has asked residents of the state to disregard the sit-at-home order by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The government’s directive is contained in a statement issued in Umuahia by the Commissioner for Information, Chief Okiyi Kalu.
Kalu stated that adequate security had been provided to ensure the safety of lives and property in all parts of the state. The commissioner, however, noted that it would not compel anyone wishing to sit at home for any reason whatsoever not to do so.
