ONITSHA — Major markets, banks and business premises in Onitsha, Anambra State, recorded low commercial activity on Monday despite repeated warnings by Governor Chukwuma Soludo against compliance with the sit-at-home order.
A visit to key markets, including Onitsha Main Market, Ochanja Market, Marine Modern Market, Ose-Ekwodu Market and Biafra Market, showed that only about 30 per cent of shops were open for business.
The state government had warned traders against observing the Monday sit-at-home and threatened to seal shops that remained closed, with fines imposed on defaulters.
