The Monday sit-at-home in Anambra State was strictly observed today despite the Appeal Court judgment in favour of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
A resident of Okpoko, Onitsha, identified as Okamnobi, said the people intensified the sit-at-home to further express their disappointment to the disobedience of court orders by the Federal Government.
“We are happy with the Appeal Court judgement in favour of Nnamdi Kanu but because we are used to staying indoors on Mondays, the court judgement even if it is in favour, didn’t stop us because that day has been earmarked for club, town and other meetings for people,” he said further.
