 Confusion In Anambra Nigeria As IPOB/ESN Declares ‘Ghost Town’ From August 9

NNEWI – The Eastern Security Network (ESN), the security arm of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared Monday August 9 a ‘Ghost Town’ in the country to protest continued detention of the group’s leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The ESN and IPOB warned that unless Kanu was released before Monday, August 9, 2021, it would enforce the Ghost Town which, ac­cording to it, would carry dare consequences.

This threat, accord­ing to a statement signed by Emma Powerful, the group’s Director of Publicity, made available to newsmen, warned everybody in the South East geopolitical zone to remain in-doors every Monday from 6.am to 6.pm beginning August 9, 2021.

It stressed that failure to comply would tell dan­gerously on those who would flout the order.

“We are now into freedom struggle prop­er and everybody must understand that before the arrest of our leader, he raised the dragon flag, which was never brought down even at this moment. You know what that means.

“This Ghost Day or Ghost Town would be fully enforced,” the state­ment read in part.

However, there confu­sion, mixed feelings and fear following the decla­ration..

SUNDAY INDEPEN­DENT gathered that business such as banks, post offices had been making plans, either to relocate their business or to close down perma­nently in Anambra State.

While some people said that constant sit-at-home would not bring Biafra, others maintain that it was necessary for everybody to die than re­main in bondage in the country.

As at press time, the Anambra State govern­ment was yet issue any statement on the devel­opment.
