Gov Poll: Anambra streets deserted despite sit-at-home order cancellation
In the early hours of today, only a few cars, commercial buses and tricycles can be spotted on the roads of Awka, the Anambra State capital as residents have chosen to stay away from their places of business despite the cancellation of the sit-at-home order.
Many had expected activities to pick up in the state capital with the Indigenous People of Biafra calling off their one week stay-at-home order on Thursday but as of 9am, activities were at its lowest.
At the Regina junction along the Onitsha/Enugu Road, commuters were seen boarding the few available buses, while few food vendors were seen on the popular Regina Caeli Road conducting their business.
Heavily armed Police officers could also be sighted in the area as they paraded the streets and major roads.
