The Monday November 18, 2024 edition of sit-at-home, originally declared by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), was enforced in Anambra with killings and kidnappings by gunmen in some parts of the state.
One of the bloody spots was Abatete, a town in Idemili North Local Government Area (LGA), where unknown gunmen unleashed terror, killing three security men attached to the town’s President-General (PG). The PG was however hit by a bullet and was taken to a nearby hospital. He had earlier been abducted but escaped from his abductors.

Also, in Ukpo Community, the town’s Vigilante group came under attack in the wave of violence as one vigilante and motor cyclist (okada) were killed at the town’s roundabout. Ukpo is the headquarters of Dunukofia LGA and the Nigeria Police Zone 13 headquarters.
Though the mainstream Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has proclaimed an end to Monday’s sit-at-home, the faction loyal to Finland-based Simon Ekpa has insisted on the enforcement of the weekly shutdown.
