The sit-at-home order have allegedly paralyzed major commercial activities in the state.

Currently, a litre of fuel sells at 250 naira and petrol stations are battling long queues, due to inability to restock as at when due.

However, it remains uncertain how long the sit-at-home order of the IPOB would be observed, as residents are yet to defeat apprehension, despite the IPOB  announcing its cancellation.
