The Enugu State Security Council, comprising the heads of security agencies in the state, has warned those planning to enforce any form of sit-at-home in the state to desist or meet their waterloo.

The council, which  gave the warning after a meeting held at the Government House, Enugu, yesterday, and presided over by the Governor of Enugu State, PETER MBAH, said sit-at-home remained an anomaly in all the nooks and crannies of the State, stressing that no one had the right to stop anyone else from going about his or her lawful business.

The warning came against the backdrop of a purported threat issued by the leader of the Autopilot militia group,  SIMON EKPA,calling for a one-week sit-at-home.

Briefing newsmen after the meeting, the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, KANAYO UZUEGBU, said some strategic and critical decisions were taken at the meeting to ensure that security architecture in the state is further strengthened, adding security forces will be further positioned in every corner of Enugu State 

Recall that the governor PETER MBAH, hadwhile receiving members of the House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence over the weekend, urged the people of the region, especially the people of Enugu State to disregard every form of threats or orders by the Finland-based EKPA, describing him as a businessman, scammer, and common criminal, who had no interest of Ndigbo at heart, but rather fed on their emotions and sufferings.
