… describes sponsors, promoters of sit-at-home as enemies of Ndi Igbo

The Enugu State Government has dismissed as mischievous the illegal sit-at-home declared by some faceless non-state actors for Tuesday, October 29, 2024, over the unfortunate death of the popular Ogene musician, Okezie Mba, aka Igbo Jah, describing those behind the illegal order as criminals and opportunists who do not mean well for the Ndi Enugu and Ndi Igbo at large.

While assuring the people that the state government and security agencies had already taken decisive action that would ensure that anyone found culpable in the unfortunate death of the musician is severely punished, it described the sponsors and promoters of sit-at-home as enemies of Enugu State and the Igbo nation.

The government, therefore, directed citizens to disregard the illegal order and go about their normal activities, vowing to muster all powers at its disposal to protect the lives and property of the people, while the killers of the late Igbo Jah were already behind the bar for interrogation and prosecution.

The government, in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof Chidiebere Onyia, on Sunday, said, “Our attention has been drawn to reports making the rounds on social media to the effect that some criminal and faceless non-state actors have declared a sit-at-home in Enugu State on Tuesday, October 29, 2024 purportedly to protest the unfortunate killing of the popular Ogene musician, Okezie Mba, aka Igbo Jah, by a police officer on Friday.

“The Enugu State government once again restates its condemnation of the killing as abominable, unacceptable and totally against the values we hold dear, most especially the sanctity of human life.

“Indeed, His Excellency, Governor Peter Mbah, spared no time in ordering a thorough investigation to unravel the circumstance of the killing with a view to bringing the perpetrator(s) to justice. Already, the culprit has been identified and in custody while investigation continues.

“On Sunday morning, a delegation from the state government, led by the Secretary to the State Government and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Barr Victor Udeh, visited the bereaved family to empathize with them and reemphasized government’s commitment to ensuring that justice is served.

“The Enugu State government is, however, not surprised that criminal elements are seeking to exploit the unfortunate situation to cause mayhem in the state, restrict economic activities, and inflict more pain on our people.

“These opportunists who play on the emotions of our people in the name of freedom agitation do not mean well for a people known for enterprise, hard work and creativity. They cannot be our true representatives. They do not represent the values we cherish. They are simply criminals and enemies of Ndi Igbo sponsored to destabilize the region.

“To this end, and as usual, there shall be no compliance with the illegal sit-at-home order in any part of Enugu State on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Government will muster all the powers at its disposal to ensure the security of lives and property of our people.

“Government hereby charges civil servants, farmers, market men and women, the corporate sector, business and shop owners, schools, teachers, and all workers in Enugu State that the sit-at-homes belong to an inglorious past we must erase from our memories.”

The government equally frowns at any attempt to incite fear and promote the illegal order through social media and other media platforms, stressing that anyone found sharing such content will be used as a scapegoat as a deterrent to others.

Time to do a show of force all round the state, not just during elections to intimidate or harm opposition

COMRADES are speechless, this sit at home order/ threat is getting out of control, I'm not in support of it because you can't be punishing/ maiming/ killing your people in the name of fighting for freedom
The south east region loses a huge amount of money every Monday as a result of this sit at home order

This is what go get when you allow criminals to control you. They will definitely over shoot their boundaries and the whole citizens will suffer it.

Wetin dis people dey really smoke

Let me watch if those in enugu will listen to this Man that wants to destroy shops so he can suffer people from their business

I heard he wants to build double lane on street children frequently pass through in abakpa

That is to show you how evil he is

Na, they rather listen to the IPOB midget in Finland.

Just imagine, one delusional midget in faraway Finland is controlling a whole tribe in Nigeria.

Tomorrow the same people will come and talk about how some people are bowing down for their elders. Clowns

Na to just leave this Enugu. Everything don cast.

Faceless non-state actors

These cowards always giving elaborate names to criminals.

Don't mind those miscreants

Ignore call and come out to lose your life abi ？

People safety first

Eastern governors are second or third to Simon Ekpa authority

RecentHistory:
Faceless non-state actors

These cowards always giving elaborate names to criminals.

Simon Ekpa is being paid by anti Biafra elements in Nigeria's government to impose and enforce sit at home orders in the southeast. Ekpa has turned to become a 5th Columnist in the agitation for restoration of Biafra.

Creamypie:
Eastern governors are second or third to Simon Ekpa authority

Ask: how could a few boys carrying guns outdo Nigeria's armed forces as Ekpa's sit at home orders are enforced by those his hirelings?
Even a kid, talk less, Simon Ekpa, knows that forcing people to sit at home diminishes human and economic development in the area where sit at home orders are frequently imposed.

chief security officer of a state talking like motor park guard , tufiakwa,

Which security

And you pretend that you don't know that Nigeria's government has the powers to stop Simon Ekpa and his sit at home orders, if the government wants? Who is incharge of security of lives and property in a country?

You could be one of those who carry guns to enforce sit at home in the southeast.
Nobody in the southeast likes the sit at home, but they stay home because of fear of what people like you and other hirelings of Ekpa and his Nigeria government sponsors can do with guns.

D

Ok

Good. I commend the sit at home order and whoever directed it on this very case.

If every state had a sit at home whenever policemen killed any of their residents unjustly in anger or mistakenly it will become a thing of history. The force ogas will be forced to sit up and oversee the mental health of their personnel and their understanding of the power bestowed upon them by the same masses the useless ones later go out to kill unjustly.

I commend the sit at home. Tomorrow the police should think twice before pulling their trigger in Enugu State.

Lol... all the best for una though.

I look forward to that forlorn day one unforeseen unfortunate fellow will want to enact sit-at-home in this SW... lol... impossicant.
