However, many residents are yet to comply with the governor’s directive out of fear of possible attack by unknown gunmen terrorizing the state and the South East.

Following the non-compliance, the governor ordered the closure of banks and businesses at the Ogbete main market and other parts of the state for not opening on Monday.

The state government said the affected shops will be closed for one week and also gave conditions that the affected traders must meet before their shops would be reopened.

The development has now sparked a protest by Ogbete market traders who took to the street to condemn the action of the governor.
