Residents in Imo State are once again terrified as the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) reinstates the Monday sit-at-home strike that was previously suspended (IPOB).

The state was completely grounded as early as 7 a.m., with notable institutions such as banks, schools, filling stations, and markers remaining under lock and key.

The usual traffic congestion experienced in the State was also drastically reduced except for few who were courageous enough to ply the major roads but in fear.

Some students who went to school were sent back home by their teachers ,asking them to report on Tuesday. It’s a similar situation with most of the ministries in the State as the workers despite threat by the State governor, Hope Uzodimma to deal with any of them who did not report for duty stayback in their homes.

The popular Douglas road, where one of the biggest markets in the State is located is almost empty as the traders complied with the other, while some of them were seen in desperate mood hanging around their shops to make brisk sales.
