Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo has shut down Onitsha Main Market and declared total crack down on what he called economic sabotage by the traders.

A government statement said: "Following the protracted economic sabotage cloaked at “Monday sit at home”, the Anambra State government has moved in to crack down on all who aide and abate it.

This first announcement will last for one week. If by next Monday the market is not open, the shutdown will be extended to one month".

Despite a stern directive by the state government that workers who fail to be at their duty places on Mondays will henceforth lose their pay, many schools and offices remained closed in the state.
