The May 30th sit-at-home call by the Indigenous People of Biafra to remember the Biafra heroes that died during the civil war and those who died in the course of the struggle recorded total compliance with the residents of Anambra State staying indoors on Tuesday.
Our correspondent, who visited the major cities of Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia and some parts of Anambra, observed that markets, motor parks, petrol stations, banks, hospitals and offices remained shut.
Schools did not also open for academic activities.
The ever-busy River Niger bridge and the ever-bubbling motor parks and other environs remained quiet and devoid of activities which the area is noted for.

Even the numerous security operatives mounting road checkpoints at the ever-busy Onitsha-Owerri Expressway, Awka-Enugu Expressway and Awka Road, stayed off the roads.
Also, the shops along the streets and roadsides, which usually offer skeletal services to residents, were totally under lock and key as youths converted the roads and streets to football fields.

A newspaper vendor, who identified himself simply as Chidiebere, said, “I was turned back by some hoodlums as I was going to supply newspapers to our agents in Nnewi. Although IPOB may be justified by remembering those who died during the civil war, it should also be noted that it is somehow affecting businesses in the region.
