Anambra Governor Soludo Shuts Down Onitsha Market Over Sit-At-Home Directive
Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo issued a directive to shut down the Onitsha main market following the persistent sit-at-home order in the region. The decision came after traders in the market defied the government's instructions by keeping their stalls open.
Soludo's visit to the market on Monday revealed the non-compliance, prompting the immediate closure. The move reflects the government's determination to regain control of economic activities in the Southeast, which have been disrupted by the weekly sit-at-home protests.
Despite assurances of enhanced security, the market traders opted to maintain their stalls closed, signaling a form of silent protest against the prevailing atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. The closure is intended to last for a week, emphasizing the need for strict adherence to government directives to restore normalcy in the region.
