Biafra Day: Umuahia Deserted as Residents Observe Sit-at-Home

Umuahia, Abia State, was largely deserted on Friday as residents complied with IPOB’s sit-at-home directive to honour Biafra Day. Shops, banks, schools, markets, and motor parks remained closed, with only a few tricycles and vehicles seen. No security presence was observed, and the city remained peaceful, with youths playing soccer on empty streets.
