The Indigenous People of Biafra has dared the governors of the South-East, declaring a complete lockdown of all economic activities across the region on Monday to protest the closure of the Onitsha Main Market by the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.

The pro-Biafran group called on traders, transporters, banks, schools, civil servants and every sector across Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu and Ebonyi states, and beyond, to observe the solidarity lockdown peacefully.

Meanwhile, Soludo has ordered the immediate remodelling of the market following the one-week closure.

The directive followed the governor’s last visit to the market, where he lamented that the once-famed “biggest market in West Africa” had collapsed into a shadow of its old self, adding that the market was “literally dead.” Punch
