A man was set ablaze by an irate mob for trying to enforce Monday's sit-at-home order on traders in a market in Ogidi Anambra State.
According to a report by Naija News, the yet-to-be-identified man went into the market and ordered traders to shut down in compliance with the Monday sit-at-home order being sustained in the region by Finland-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa and his followers.
The irate residents led by traders at the building materials section of the market stood up to the said enforcer and lynched him.
A video obtained by SaharaReporters on Tuesday obtained
showed the gory incident and how the middle-aged man was burnt on the road with a tyre hung around his neck after he had tried unsuccessfully to escape
The mob thereafter poured some liquid substance believed to be petrol on him.
IPOB which first gave the Monday sit-at-home order suspended it after its first observance and has continued to distance itself and its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from those sustaining and enforcing the exercise in the region.
IPOB has also repeatedly asked the government and security agencies to treat as a criminal anyone caught enforcing the sit-at-home order.
However, Kanu's self-proclaimed disciple, Simon Ekpa, has insisted that the Monday sit-at-home must continue to protest the Federal Government's disobedience of several Court orders and UN directive to release the IPOB leader from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
