Schools in Imo State have opened for the first time on a Monday in Imo following the cancellation of the weekly sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Business activities once crippled every Monday, have also commenced fully again in Imo as confidence over the suspension of the weekly sit-at-home order by IPOB surged among the excited population in the state.

In Owerri, the Imo State capital ,and its environs, on Monday, people trooped out to their various business and workplaces without hinderance or fear.

Some of the residents, who spoke with newsmen expressed happiness.

Mrs. Ilonma Nwaku, a petty trader at Relief Market, said she could not have been happier.

She said, “We had thought that this sit-at-home at home was endless. But I am happy that my weekend ended on Sunday rather than when I would have to sit at home every Monday.”

When Newsmen visited Bank Road, where most commercial banks are situated, activities were in full gear as customers jostled to get into the banks.

Meanwhile, police helicopters are hovering over the skies.
