As Residents Comply With IPOB’s Initial Sit-At-Home Directive
President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport in Owerri, Imo State.
The President who was clothed in the Isi Agu Igbo native attire was welcomed by some of the elders in the state.
There was also a heavy security presence at the airport.
Recall that the state Governor, Hope Uzodinma, had announced Buhari’s visit.
He said the president would commission some significant projects while in the state.
Some pro-Biafra groups had faulted the planned visit.
However, roads in Owerri, the Imo state capital are deserted as residents have stayed indoors.
The measures might not be unconnected with the stay-at-home order issued by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) over the president’s visit.
All markets, banks, commercial centres in the city are shut.
Heads of market associations had, on Wednesday, asked traders to stay at home on Thursday
