Security operatives were not seen in major parts of Anambra State on Wednesday following the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The directive was over the appearance of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in court on Wednesday
All schools, banks, markets and commercial activities were shut down in all the cities of Anambra.
Residents stayed indoors for fear of being harmed or killed by members of the Pro – Biafra movement.
All the streets were deserted with security operatives also out of sight.

According to him: ” I told you I just came from Onitsha now to work and our police personnel are everywhere.”
