The Imo state Governor, Hope Uzodimma was said to have allegedly ordered the sealing of the banks that complied with the si-at-home directives issued by IPOB in protest for the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigeria Government.
Sequel to the order, all banks’ branches around Bank Road, Owerri capital of Imo State on Tuesday were shut down by the Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA) over alleged failure to open on Monday.
The branches of the affected banks in the State, which are now under lock and key have remained locked as hundreds of customers were stranded at the time of filing this report.
