Douglas, Wethedral, Mbari, Ikenegbu, and Egbu roads were also affected, with no commercial activity in these areas.
There were no schools open. For the sit-at-home order, transportation companies mostly along the Egbu road and the Control post shuttered.
Residents who spoke with newsmen stated they stayed at home because they were afraid of being attacked.
They said:
“We can’t come out because the killings are much. These boys are angry they can kill at any time. Since they warned that nobody should come then you better respect yourself and stay at home or else anything you see you take it.”
