Enugu govt threatens to shut schools, businesses obeying sit-at-home order

The Enugu State government on Saturday threatened to shut down schools, markets, retail outlets, and hospitals that continue to obey the Monday sit-at-home in the state.

Governor Peter Mbah had during the week cancelled the sit-at-home order put in place by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South-East and promised to set up a task force on Monday to monitor compliance with his directive.

In a statement issued in Enugu by his media aide, Mr. Dan Neomeh, the governor urged schools, markets, and other business outlets to comply with the cancellation of the order.
