In addition, the opposition party said Umahi was not even in the state but was issuing orders he was not on the ground to ensure its enforcement.
However, PDP condemned the incident and called on IPOB to realise that killing innocent citizens for whatever reason was not a solution to the many challenges facing Nigeria.
The statement read in part, “Today, reports have it that three people have been shot dead by yet-to-be-identified gunmen in the boundary between Ohaozara and Onicha LGA.
“These killings could have been avoided if the governor had not assured law-abiding citizens that adequate security will be provided to protect them as they disobey the sit-at-home order.
“It is irresponsible to assure people of safety and then not be present to ensure that safety.”
