ONITSHA — Commercial activities and vehicular movements were
paralyzed for hours, Tuesday, in the commercial city of Onitsha,
Anambra State following a peaceful demonstration by over 1000 members of
the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Brafia,
MASSOB, to rehearse their proposed June 8 sit-at-home order.
Apparently to ensure the success and active participation of all Igbo
citizens at home and in diaspora during the exercise, the MASSOB
members, led by their Onitsha Region 4 Administrator, Chief Arinze
Igbani, stormed the commercial city at about noon to carry out the
exercise which took place simultaneously in five major local government
areas of Anambra State, including Idemili North, Idemili South, Onitsha
North, Onitsha South and Ogbaru.
The demonstrators had as early as 8 a.m., converged on Oba, Idemili
South Local Government Area, from where they touched Awada, Idemili
North, Onitsha North and South and finally ended the sensitization match
at Ogboefere market in Ogbaru Local Government Area of the state at
about 2 p.m.
