Sources who monitored the development in the state capital, observed that banks, schools and offices remained shut but artisans and roadside traders operated, though not in full scale.

Commercial motorists were seen conveying passengers to various destinations within and outside the metropolis, but not in large number.

Okigwe Road and Wetheral Road were a bit busy but independent markets in the state capital remained shut.

On inquiry, it was discovered that the ongoing primary elections of various political parties helped in the change in terms of the sit-at-home compliance in the state capital.
