His efforts however failed to produce the desired results as the BBC which monitored developments in the State reports that streets of major towns in the State was deserted as if people ran away from the State. Here are pictures taken by the BBC when it monitored the sit@home status in the bustling commercial metropolis, Onitsha and the capital city, Awka
