APC Chieftain Accuses Leaders of Sponsoring IPOB Amid Onitsha Market Shutdown

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Igbokwe, has accused leaders of being sponsors of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) following the shutdown of Onitsha Main Market in Anambra State. The market was closed by the state governor, ignoring residents' protests against the Monday sit-at-home order.

The closure led to clashes and tension in the area, with traders facing threats of market demolition if they failed to resume activities. Igbokwe expressed displeasure over the situation, suggesting that indigenous people might be behind the unrest in the state.

The shutdown of the market has raised concerns about the economic impact and security issues in the region.
