The Police Command in Anambra has described the rate of compliance with Friday’s sit-at-home order by the Independent People of Biafra in the state as low.

Commercial banks, markets and business outlets in Umuahia, the Abia capital, opened for business on Friday, defying the sit-at-home order by the Independent People of Biafra.

The police command in Enugu state on Thursday said the recent sit-at-home order by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra should be disregarded and urged residents to go about their normal businesses.

Danmallam gave the assurance on Thursday in Enugu during a meeting with commercial bus, tricycle and motorcycle unions as well as various traders’ unions and associations in the state.

The state’s Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Danmallam, made the call on Wednesday in Enugu during a meeting with members of the Enugu State Traditional Rulers’ Council led by Igwe Lawrence Agubuzu.
