Streets and major roads in Enugu, the Enugu State capital are this morning bereft of human and vehicular traffic. thi

There are very few places where bus and tricycle operators are making swift runs and charging exorbitant fares to stranded commuters.

The motor parks as well as loading bays of mass transit operators engaged in intra and interstate shuttles are also not operational.

Schools had closed last weekend except for the Federal Government College whose off-campus students cannot go to school owing to the non-availability of commuter vehicles.

Offices, shops, markets and most public places including banks have also closed their doors to the public.

However, there has been no unusual security beef-up or patrols or encounter with suspected IPOB members. The roads and streets are bare and free with young people engaging in street football.

There have also not been any threats from the state government to the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB ) under whose call, people of the South East have been observing stay-at-home on Mondays to express solidarity with the ideals of the secessionist group and its leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu.

In Enugu, pedestrians can be seen on the streets mostly looking for inner city outlets to buy food and quaff drinks while discussing the trend that appears to have become the new normal here.

Nobody has been observed on the streets trying to enforce the sit-at-home order better known as ‘Ghost Monday’ here. Enugu, the Coal City remains calm and as it said here, “Enugu State Is The Hands Of God.”
