The Imo state government has asked residents of the state to ignore a sit-at-home order issued by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on May 29 and May 30.



The state's Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, while speaking in Owerri, the state capital on Thursday, May 27, said residents of the state can go about their lawful businesses without fear of molestation, adding that adequate security arrangements had been put in place to ensure safety and freedom of movement.

“Imo residents should disregard these messages as they have no consequence whatsoever. They should go about their normal businesses without any fear of molestation.

Let our people be rest assured that the government has put all necessary security measures in place to ensure the safety and freedom of movement of all Imo people on these dates and after” he said



Speaking on the alleged shoot-at-sight order given by the government to security operatives, the state commissioner said it was the handiwork of rumour mongers and enemies of the state. According to him, only criminals have something to worry about the security measures put in place in the state and innocent residents have nothing to fear.

“Just when the government has successfully brought the state back to normalcy, these vicious enemies have contrived another rumour to the effect that security agents have been instructed to shoot and kill Imo youths extra judicially.

I am here to urge my dear Imo youths to ignore this baseless rumour of them being targets of intimidation or assault by security agents, as the originators of this rumour are those who have vowed to make Imo ungovernable.

I am, therefore, using this medium to appeal to our parents and guardians to rein in their children and wards against any form of demonstration in this volatile time.

Those who are stoking the embers of this crisis will not put forward their children to be part of the battle. That is why my fellow parents should not allow their children to be Cannon fodder in a purely mindless matter.

Once again, the government has not given any order for either the arrest or killing of innocent Imo youths. So, law-abiding citizens should go about their legitimate businesses without any fear or panic,” he said

Smh. Some people will even be confused whose order to follow in this country, AGF will give order, media aides will give order, MACBAN will give order, Sunday Igboho , Ipob, Governors, etc. Buahri will be shocked, Buhari will react, but no any order from him. I even heard Buhari has been shortlisted for the Best president of the decade and voting is ongoing. I’m his agent on Nairaland so you can click like to vote for him or share to vote against him. Happy voting

This dude is funny.

The interesting thing b say even the convener of this message go still observe the sit at home order

Ignore, what order.. when you will be moving around with police escorts... And drinking champagne

Schools in my area have declared 31st public holiday.


And where i work,we have been ordered to enjoy a holiday on 31st.

ok

I thought that under the prevailing security situation in SE, the safest thing anyone can do now is to sit at home. It will help calm things down, even if it's for one day or two. Staying indoors doesn't hurt; you can play board games, and watch movies.

I hope the UGM and Security Force observe that day as day of truce.

The same write up ova and ova again..

Who's the person dishing out this gibberish always, can't he come up with something reasonable...

He keeps recycling the same line, reading the first sentence I already know how it would end, because it isn't the first time I've seen such write up
