Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, on Monday ordered the closure of Onitsha Main Market for one week after traders reportedly defied a state government directive to observe a “sit-at-home” order.

Governor Soludo made the announcement during an unscheduled inspection of market activities on Monday morning, noting that the directive was ignored by some commercial operators at the prominent market.

The one-week closure, according to the governor, is aimed at enforcing compliance with state regulations and maintaining order within the commercial hub.

Details on enforcement measures during the closure, including security arrangements or penalties for non-compliance, were not immediately disclosed.
