The Indigenous People of Biafra has declared Monday, February 2, 2026, a sit-at-home across the South-East, comprising Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo states, saying the action is in solidarity with traders at the Onitsha Main Market.

PUNCH Online reports that Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, on Monday ordered the closure of the Onitsha Main Market for one week, citing continued observance of the sit-at-home declared by IPOB since July 30, 2021.

The governor had said the sit-at-home was crippling the state’s economy and warned against further compliance with the order.

However, traders at the market said the sit-at-home was in solidarity with the detained leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who is standing trial on charges related to separatist agitation
