All banks, schools, filling stations and government offices were closed on Tuesday with the streets completely deserted.
Even though the popular Federal Medical Center was opened to the public, few patients expressed anxiety over the situation.

At the ever busy Isi gate, former Umuahia main market, few residents were seen discussing in groups as only few tricycles move along the adjoining streets.
Recall that in a recent statement by the IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, the sit-at-home will be a total lockdown of the Southeast in line with the existing sit-at-home order regarding Kanu’s court appearance.
