Enugu youths storm the streets to back Nnamdi Kanu in ending sit-at-home

Enugu youths, on Saturday, stormed the streets in peaceful protest to support Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in his call to end illegal sit-at-home in the South-East.

The youths, in their numbers, marched through major roads and streets in Enugu metropolis with various inscriptions, which included: “Even Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is Against Sit-at-Home” and “Sit-at-Home Discourages Economic Progress”.

Speaking, the leader of Enugu Innovative Youths, Comrade Edeani Maduabuchi Edeani said that people pushing illegal sit-at-home under any guise should stop it, adding that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB, was against sit-at-home and had publicly called for its cancellation.

Edeani said that the illegal sit-at-home had resulted in untold hardship and poverty in Enugu State and by extension the entire South-East.

According to him, “the illegal sit-at-home is causing so much havoc and making education, health and economic institutions not to function optimally while the people are counting their losses both as individuals, groups and corporate entities.

He explained that the youths in Enugu State are supporting Nnamdi Kanu in his stance to stop and totally cancel the illegal sit-at-home being engineered by what he called a misguided Nigerian in Finland.

The group also appealed to the Federal Government to obey the court order to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, adding that it would help to reinvigorate the South-East and bring the manipulation by a few hoodlums to an end.

They further urged the Federal Government to review relations with the Government of Finland over the country’s unwillingness to rein in Simon Ekpa and bring him to book
