Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah has ordered closure of schools or businesses adhering to the Monday sit-at-home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
In a public service announcement on Saturday, Peter Mbah stated that the directive was in response to his cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home in the state, effective from June 6.
The governor reassured residents that they could engage in their activities without fear, as adequate security measures had been put in place to ensure their safety.
“This is to inform all schools, markets, retail outlets, hospitals, transporters, malls and the general members of the public that, in view of the recent ban/cancellation of Mondays’ sit-at-home by the government of Enugu state, in all nooks and crannies of the state, they have been directed to go about their normal businesses and activities every day of the week, including Mondays.
“The above-mentioned bodies and others alike are required to comply with the directive.
“Members of the government’s task force will be moving around to monitor compliance. Any market, transport outlet, or any other body that fails to open for business risks being shut down immediately,” the statement reads.
