How Aba Traders Shut Down Business Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial

Traders at Aba Shopping Center in Abia State on Monday suspended business activities because of the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The IPOB leader was to appear before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja but his trial was adjourned till October.

Kanu, who is standing trial for treason, was granted bail on health grounds in 2017.

But he violated all the bail conditions and fled abroad.

He was rearrested last month and detained in custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on the orders of the court.

One of the traders, who spoke off the record told our correspondent that they did not shut down in solidarity with Kanu but for the fear that there could be violence later in the day.

Our correspondent observed that there was normalcy in other parts of the town.
