A video captures the moment alleged IPOB/ESN fighters/Unknown gunmen visited Ariaria market in ABA, Abia state to declare a two-day no movement/sit at home, and the people were very happy with them.
It was reported that the order was to kick off from the 5th – 6th of May to stand against President Buhari’s planned visit to Ebonyi state.
According to the video, the gunmen who can be seen putting on black overalls with masks gathered in the market to pass out the declaration. The traders seemingly happy with the activities of the “unknown gunmen” jubilated and clapped their hands, with the hopes that the actualization of Biafra would be close

However, the once-celebrated unknown gunmen are now been dreaded in the Eastern region of Nigeria. The once-happy traders now lament the steady loss of business they are forced to endure with the mandatory Monday sit-at-home and other incessant sit-at-home orders issued from time to time.
Many people have been killed by the sit-at-home enforcers especially under the leadership of Simon Ekpa, following the continued incaceration of Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian government.
Crime in the eastern region, especially kidnapping and cult-related activities is now the order of the day. Whatever heinous crime committed is quickly blamed on “unknown gunmen”.
