Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has issued a warning that any store or shopping plaza that remains closed on Mondays due to the sit-at-home directive originally announced by the Indigenous People of Biafra will be sealed off.

I embarked on a routine tour of some major markets in Onitsha to see how the people fared. I seized the opportunity to reiterate our stand on the now infamous Monday “sit-at-home”

We’ll continue to encourage our people to own their land. Anambra will continue to win!

-Gov. Soludo

Soludo threatens to seal shops of traders observing Monday sit-at-home

8th October 2024

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has threatened to seal any shop or plaza closed on Mondays in compliance with the sit-at-home order initially declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra.

Soludo issued the warning during an inspection tour of the Main Market in Onitsha on Monday, where he expressed his displeasure over the large number of locked shops and plazas.

The governor visited the market, known as the largest in West Africa, to observe the level of commercial activity amid the lingering sit-at-home order.

Since IPOB declared the sit-at-home in 2021 to protest the extraordinary rendition of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, the exercise has continued to disrupt business activities in the South East, despite IPOB’s official suspension of the order.

Fear of violent enforcement has caused markets, schools, banks, and other businesses to remain closed every Monday.

Soludo, who inspected the market, warned that any trader or business that refuses to open on Mondays would face severe penalties, including the sealing of shops for up to one month.

He stressed that the persistent closure of businesses on Mondays would damage the local economy, as customers might start going to other regions to purchase goods.

He said, “I am here to ensure that your shops are open.
From now on, every Monday, the Main Market must be open for business,” the governor declared. “If you fail to open, your shop will be sealed for one week, and if necessary, for up to one month. When you are ready to open, it must be from Monday through Saturday.”

Soludo assured the traders that adequate security measures would be in place to protect them, urging them to resume full commercial activities on Mondays.

Wetin concern me bi this; how is KAI the abbreviation of Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps?

Upon expiration of notices served, Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resource through the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps @LAGESCOfficial (KAI) removed illegal structures built by the officers of the Nigerian Army by the perimeter fence of Yaba College of Technology.

The Lagos State government reiterates it's commitment to zero tolerance to all kinds of environmental infractions in order to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all Lagosians.

Earlier today, officers of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI), lawfully engaged in their duties in Yaba, were subjected to an unprovoked attack by personnel of the Nigerian Army under the directive of Major Adebiyi and Captain Gowon.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General T. Lagbaja, and the Director of Chaplain Services, Lt. Col. T.E. Ogbonyomi, for their swift and decisive intervention in support of civil authorities. Their leadership has ensured that KAI officers continue to carry out their responsibilities without further disruption, reinforcing the principle that military personnel are subject to the authority of civil governance within their jurisdictions.

We strongly condemn this unwarranted and unacceptable assault on officers executing their lawful duties. Moving forward, such acts will not be tolerated.

We remain committed to ensuring a #CleanerLagos by upholding safety and sanitation standards across the state.

Tokunbo Wahab,
Honourable Commissioner,
Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources,
Lagos State
