Angry mob burns man alive for trying to enforce sit-at-home order in Anambra (Photos)
A man trying to enforce sit-at-home order in Ogidi, Anambra State has been burnt alive by angry mobs.
According to SaharaReporters, the incident occurred on Monday, when one of the enforcers allegedly went into the market to order business owners to observe the order.
Unfortunately for him, the traders of building materials had made up their mind to end the enforced sit-at-home which the initiator, the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had cancelled and denounced.
The separatist group had also directed the government and security agencies to treat anyone enforcing it as a criminal.

However, the self-proclaimed disciple of Kanu, Simon Ekpa has insisted that sit-at-home must be observed every Monday in the Southeast region, insisting that until the detained IPOB leader was released from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), it would not end.
In the violent video, the middle aged man could be seen struggling with the fire and then running before being stopped by the mob.
The alleged sit-at-home enforcer was knocked down and a tyre was put on him. Thereafter, they doused him with some inflammable substance believed to be fuel leaving him to his demise.
A note attached to the video on WhatsApp reads: “This incident happened today @ building materials Ogidi then it shows that Igbos are now facing the reality, no more sit at home forced on us by a fugitive.”
