Abakaliki shutdown as residents obey IPOB’s sit-at-home order

Abakaliki, the capital city of Ebonyi State, is currently on lockdown as residents stayed at home to comply with the sit-at-home directive of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The group last week gave the directive to protest the continuous detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. 

Photos emerging from the city show that people away from businesses and other regular activities.
