Umuahia, Abia State capital, Monday, witnessed a complete shutdown following a sit-at-home order.
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has denied any involvement with the sit-at-home but it might not be unconnected with the continued detention of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
It is believed that the two-day sit-at-home was a spontaneous mass action over the refusal of access to Kanu.
Since September 24 after his last court appearance, his lawyers and family members had not been allowed access to him.
Unlike previous sit-at-home protests, Monday’s sit-at-home recorded total compliance as the streets and the roads were completely deserted.
Human and vehicular traffic was very limited although there were occasional movements of tricycles and vehicles.
Students and pupils stayed at home as schools did not open for studies.
