Igbos resident in Akure, Ondo State capital, on Monday joined the protest asking for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as they did not open shops for commercial activities.
Shops operated by Igbos along Oyemekun Road, Adesida Road, Arakale Road, NEPA, Carl Street, Old Garage and other commercial areas in the capital city were shut.
Moving around the commercial centres in the capital city, it was obvious that people from the Eastern part of the country operated the only shops that didn’t open for commercial activities.
Automobile spare parts shops, supermarkets owned by Igbos at these areas are under lock and key at the time of filing this report.
Shops seen opened for operations were all owned by people from other parts of the country.
Meanwhile, there was heavy presence of security agents at flash points where protesters usually converge in Akure metropolis.
