We’ve Put Machinery In Place To End Sit-At-Home In Imo- Police

Imo State Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, has declared an end to the sit-at-home orders previously enforced by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Mondays.

In a statement released during a “confidence-building patrol” on Monday, Danjuma assured residents they can resume their businesses without fear of reprisal. He emphasized that the police have implemented measures to checkmate the activities of the separatist group.

“This is a confidence building patrol and operation show of force exercise across the length and breadth of the state,” he said.

IPOB has called for sit-at-home protests in parts of southeastern Nigeria, including Imo State, to demand the release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is facing charges of treasonable felony, incitement, and insurrection.

Danjuma condemned the activities of IPOB, stating their actions have negatively impacted the state and regional economy. He vowed to prevent further killings and destruction of lives and properties linked to the sit-at-home orders.

“This continuous operation is targeted at preventing crime and putting an end to the deleterious and illegal sit-at-home order by the proscribed IPOB/ESN which has grievously affected the economy of the state and south-east region,” Danjuma said, referring to the group’s armed wing, the Eastern Security Network.

“We have put all machinery in place to forestall any further incidence of killings and destruction of lives and properties in the state, especially on the IPOB-instituted sit-at-home on Mondays.”
