The schools in Imo state, on Monday, could not open for school activities, following the threat of attack by enforcers of the one-week Sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Imo.

This is coming about two years after residents in Owerri, stopped observing the IPOB sit-at-home order.

It was gathered in Owerri, from different streets that schools were shut down, based on the directives by Simon Ekpa-led IPOB.

Some of the places where schools were affected by the IPOB sit-at-home include but are not limited to Egbu, Wethedral, World Bank, Owerri-Onitsha road, Owerri -Aba, and Owerri-Port Harcourt roads among others.

A school proprietor, along the MCC/Uratta road, who did not want her name mentioned said the schools decided to shut down because of a letter said to have been written to them by IPOB, “that schools in Owerri, have refused to obey the IPOB sit-at-home, and failure to observe it will result to severe punishment on defaults.

“As a result of this, some of us communicated with other school proprietors and we agreed to stop our students from going to school on Mondays for now. Until security assures us of protection. We don’t want attacks simple. For over a year now, I think up to two years we have been opening for school activities. It is like this threat I think is like is serious.”

Another owner of a school, along Owerri-Aba road, was of the view that, “I think we have do away with this sit-at-home of a thing. How come it is coming back again, I got information that this sit-at-home is not from original IPOB people. These people doing this should know that they are destroying the Igboland. You can’t bring war to your own fathers land. By doing this, our education sector is suffering it.”

However, other sectors affected were the transportation companies traveling outside Owerri, some of the major markets in the state, banking institutions among others.

I contacted someone living at Owerri and he told me there's sit at home today. For one week? That's ridiculous!

Your friend or you are only deceiving yourselves liar Mohamed left disciples behind

The sit-at-home has been going on for long in the South East since the detention of Nnamdi KANU, it's the people that voluntarily decided

It has nothing to do with individual

You cannot beat a child and ask the child not to cry

Know this and have peace

Criminals dictating for educated people to sit at home

Bunch of reprobate

Christistruth03:
Na dem hand State Power to Criminals and Convicts

Many of which had been safely locked up in Jail before Ipob released them

budaatum:
Ipob seems to be taking over from boko haram in banning education!

I wonder if people would allow themselves to end up ignorant like cattle herders or end this nonsense.

What had sit-at-home got to do with bombing, raping and killing people

Bokoharams have boldly claimed taken innocent lives yet the government did nothing to curb them but have continue to accuse IPOBs of things they have not done

Even Buhari said bokoharam are conducting their businesses

The south easterners called on the government when the Fulani herdsmen were commiting all sort of attrocities on their lands but the FG under Buhari kept quiet

So please who is the terrorist again


Tinubu "the master strategists" should dialogue with the people or leave them in peace! My 2 cents

ODUBEZE:
[b]So please who is the terrorist again [/b

RockHard:
The way MNK and Simon Ekpa succeeded in zombifying Ibo people ought to be studied as a course. As in, a whole region of over 15-million inhabitants under siege by a bunch of wanna-be gangsters posing as freedom-fighters. Smh.

budaatum:
Those terrorising schools to close and forcing people to stay at home and not go about their business are terrorists, and their tactic is the same as bokoharam which is to terrorise people.

Hope Uzodinma, Asari Dokubo and their boys bah

A whole FG cannot fish out these enforcers

Ifeanyi Uba has joined these enforcers ooooooo, what has IPOB got to do with all your propagandas

LibertyRep:
This clearly shows who the people listen to I that place.
Either out of fear or love, no one can categorically state.

However, let no one blame some imaginary forces for this self inflicted pains.

These imaginary forces should leave the people in peace and mind their own business

But no! Na them carry the matter for head pass

People say them no go open on Mondays, you say they must open na your business

It is well!

Ola9ja23:
Na only Lagos be their problem
Ndi sit at home

Enjoy your the fruit of hatred in peace 😂😀😄
