Anambra Sit-At-Home Continues Despite Kanu's Conviction, Reflecting Solidarity

The sit-at-home protests persist in Anambra, particularly in major cities like Onitsha and Nnewi, despite the conviction and imprisonment of IPOB leader Mazi Kanu. The protests, reflecting solidarity with Kanu, have led to the shutdown of markets, banks, schools, hospitals, and government offices.

Residents, including Ob Nwachukwu and Chief Okwudili Okoy, emphasize that the protest is voluntary and not imposed by IPOB. They argue that the sit-at-home has evolved beyond a direct IPOB directive to represent broader discontent with the perceived marginalization of the Igbo people by the federal government.
