Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist, has criticised the Anambra State Government over its silence as a faction of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Eastern Security Network, ESN, enforce sit-at-home in Onitsha area of the state.<\/p>\n

ESN reportedly shut down markets while enforcing the sit-at-home order in Onitsha area of Anambra State on Friday.<\/p>\n

The area was thrown into pandemonium as gunshots were heard while people scampered for safety.<\/p>\n

But, the state government has been silent over the incident.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Omokri wondered why the state government did not set up a high powered delegation like it did over the controversy surrounding JAMB candidate, Mmesoma Ejikeme.<\/p>\n

Tweeting, Omokri wrote: \u201cToday there were gunshots in Onitsha, the commercial capital of Anambra State.<\/p>\n

\u201cIPOB\/ESN shut down markets in enforcement of a Friday sit-at-home to protest the continued incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of IPOB. Gunshots rented the air, forcing parents to rush to schools to evacuate their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the Anambra State Government has not reacted. No statement. No statewide broadcast. No update to calm the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cYet, this is a state that felt a pressing need to set up a high powered committee to investigate Mmesoma Ejikeme\u2019s JAMB result and give regular updates on that issue to the media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho in his right mind chases a rat when his house is on fire?\u201d<\/p>\n
