IPOB sit-at-home order: Gov Umahi threatens to shut down banks in Ebonyi

Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has directed all civil and public servants to report to work on Monday despite the Sit-At-Home order issued by the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

He also directed banks and shops to open for business.

IPOB had fixed Monday every week for its Sit-At-Home protest.

Umahi released the directive in a statement on Sunday by Dr Kenneth Igwe, Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and Coordinating Commissioner.

The Governor said whomsoever fails to report to his duty post stands to lose his job.

 

“Similarly, any shop or bank that failed to open for business on Monday stands the risk of losing the right to operate business or banking operations in the state.

 

“The general public is by this announcement advised to go about their normal businesses without fear.

 

“Security agencies have been directed to patrol 24 hours in all corners of the state. All concerned are to take note and adhere strictly to this government directive,” Umahi stated.
