Major streets in Enugu were deserted on Monday following the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest taking place in Abuja.
Many residents opted to stay off the streets in solidarity with the ongoing demonstrations in Abuja, organized to demand the release of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
DAILY POST reports that while government offices were open, activities were minimal, with only a handful of workers present.
Similarly, commercial banks, schools, shops and malls remained closed. There was no movement of commercial vehicles within the Enugu metropolis.
Business activities were also reportedly grounded as markets were locked, public and private schools shut down, and banks and offices failed to open for operations.
Petrol and gas stations also closed, leaving the city unusually quiet and empty.
