Onitsha Market Reopens After Sit-At-Home Compliance in Anambra State
Onitsha main market in Anambra State reopened after Governor Chukwuma Soludo's directive to end the sit-at-home order. Traders across the South East region resumed business, showing solidarity with the government and defying the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The market had been shut down for a week, with the governor warning traders to open their shops or face extended closures. Despite fears of attacks, traders started selling early in the morning, with adequate security measures in place.
Residents welcomed the government's actions, while some called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. The market witnessed a significant turnout of traders, indicating a return to economic activities in the region.
