Enugu traders protest govt’s sealing of shops over Sit-at-home (Video)

Traders in Enugu State, the Coal City capital, are currently protesting the sealing of businesses by the State Government.

The State Government had on Monday sealed many businesses, including shops at the Ogbete Main Market for not opening on Monday.

Governor Peter Mbah had upon assumption of office placed a ban on the regular Monday sit-at-home imposed by a faction of IPOB.

However, many residents are yet to comply with the government’s directive out of fear of possible attack by hoodlums.

The Daily Vendor gathered however that on Monday, government officials moved from place to place sealing business outfits that failed to comply. The government has also given conditions the affected traders must meet before their shops would be reopened.

The development has now sparked protests by Ogbete Market traders.

In a trending video obtained by The Daily Vendor, the traders were seen marching within the metropolis, chanting angry songs.
