He also warned that traders who attempt to reopen sealed shops without approval would face an additional sanction.
Speaking on the matter, Soludo said:
“Any trader who refuses to open their shop on Monday and it gets sealed will pay ₦20 million. If you unseal it yourself, you will pay another ₦20 million.”
The governor emphasized that his administration is committed to putting an end to the Monday sit-at-home practice in the state. He encouraged residents to carry on with their daily activities and lawful businesses without intimidation or fear.
The Monday sit-at-home exercise was introduced by leaders of the Indigenous People of Biafra as a form of peaceful protest and solidarity with its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
