Soludo noted while the Igbo people are known for their enterprise, the criminals are bent on killing Ndigbo businesses by enforcing the sit-at-home order of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

His words:

“Let us be very clear. These criminals causing mayhem in Anambra, albeit of disparate groups and gangs, are Igbos (dominantly from other southeast states) whose real objective is lucrative criminality and foisting their idolatrous religion on the region
“Unfortunately, every criminal gang (including cult groups) claims to be a “liberation movement”, making it difficult to differentiate between any genuine agitators from criminals. Unfortunately also, the criminals now dominate the space."
