The bustling city of Onitsha, the commercial nerve centre of Anambra State, is a shadow of itself this Thursday morning, May 30, 2019.
The streets and markets are deserted as the famed commercial town shuts down following the Sit-at-Home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to honour the Biafra dead.
Security agencies had vowed to abort the event scheduled to hold across the five South-East states and other Igbo-speaking parts of Nigeria.
News Express is still monitoring the situation in other parts of Anambra, as well as in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo states.
