Mondays are observed as sit-at-home days by many residents of Enugu and the other four South-east states in compliance with the IPOB...
, Ahmed Ammani, has ordered the deployment of officials across the state to ensure public safety on Mondays and all days in the state.
To deter residents from continuing to obey the IPOB directive, Governor Mbah, on Saturday, declared that schools, markets, retail outlets, hospitals, transporters, and malls that continue to obey the sit-at-home order would be shut.Mr Mbah also set up a task force to monitor compliance with his new directive from Monday, 5 June.
“I have ordered them to ensure that the strategies already devised to reverse the ugly trend are implemented to the letter and equally warned them that lapses on their part would not be tolerated. “Innocent and law-abiding residents deserve to go about their lawful businesses without fear of harassment or physical threats by unscrupulous and subversive criminal elements, enforcing the illegal sit-at-home order,’’ Mr Ammani said in the statement.
