Imo Residents Resume Activities Amidst Attacks

Residents of Owerri, the Imo state capital have engaged in commercial and social activities on Saturday despite the attacks from gunmen across parts of the state despite the sit-at-home order given by Simon Ekpa, a known pro-Biafra agitator.

According to further reports, people went about their normal activities and completely defied the sit-at-home order.

The Imo State University junction in Owerri was bubbling as usual, as the gridlock it was known for was visible.

At the Imo State University, couples wedded at the St Joseph’s Chaplaincy with relatives and guests in attendance.

Mbari Street saw some students carrying out their end-of-the-year party even as the ‘Sisters With A Goal Initiative and Ordinary Citizens Platform’ carried out their 2022 International Human Rights Day Civil Society and Media Conversation on Justice programme nearby.

It was also observed that preparations for a wedding reception were ongoing at the City Orimary School playground on the ever-busy Wetheral Road.

The Government House Roundabout and the Ama JK were also alive as motorists and businesses went on.
