A resident who identified himself as Nzeribe at Akokwa market, said, “We Igbos are angry because of the detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu our brother, who have been fighting to deliver his people, that is why we have made up our mind to sit-at-home, to get what we are looking for.

” Our people are suffering, we are urging the government to release Nnamdi Kanu. For me I would say, let’s sit-at-home Monday and Friday until we get what we want, but for the interest of those who depend for daily income, Monday can be adopted”, he said.
