Onitsha Market: Soludo says Sit-at-Home is economic sabotage

The Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has said the failure of traders at the Onitsha Main Market to open their shops on Monday is an act of economic sabotage, insisting that the sit-at-home order stopped in the state in 2023.

This was made known by Governor Soludo while speaking at a press briefing in Awka, Anambra State on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, to address his decision to shut down the Onitsha Main Market.

Soludo has described as “delusional” the claim by some traders in the Market that they do not open their shops on Mondays due to insecurity.
