The Autocracy In Orlu Market Closure

I learnt with concerned anger of how the main market in the Orlu town of Imo State has remained under closure for such a time spanning the Biafra Day sit-at-home observance of 30th May 2021. It become more conscionably worrisome to realize that this state of affairs came to be from the highfalutin, unwarranted and daring order allegedly of the military division located within that area. In the strongest term possible, I condemn this misplaced order, which no less shows the high-handedness of the military. This is the exhibition of such galling stifle unheard of in a legitimate society nonetheless a democratic one. What this portends is that for upwards of 60 days, people who legitimately undertake their businesses and finds their daily means of livelihood in that market have by this unconscionable lock been denied their constitutional and natural rights to seek for subsistence. I call on the Imo State nay the federal governments to stand up to this madness and bring to an end this care
