After the closure of businesses in Anambra State on Thursday, the first day of the #EndBadGovernance protest, residents of the state resumed their normal activities on Friday, re-opening shops and other places of business.<\/p>\n

This is coming as the Police in the state commended the residents for boycotting the protest.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST correspondent who moved round Anambra on the Day Two of the protest noted that unlike the first day when businesses were closed and streets deserted, public places, including shops and markets, were opened on Friday.<\/p>\n

A trader, Mrs Onyekachi Ogini said: \u201cWe cannot join the protest. They are the people who voted for Tinubu, so they should enjoy the government of the man they voted. We cannot join them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, CP Nnaghe Itam, has commended Anambra residents for their peaceful conduct so far.<\/p>\n

A statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said: \u201cThe Commissioner of Police, Anambra State, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, extends his commendation to Ndi Anambra, particularly the youth, for their exemplary conduct in promoting national peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commissioner reiterates the Command\u2019s unwavering commitment to enhancing public security and safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this regard, the Police, in collaboration with other security agencies, have re-strategized their security patrols and surveillance operations across the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese measures are aimed at preventing crime and ensuring that law-abiding citizens can carry out their lawful activities without harassment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commissioner of Police urges the public to remain vigilant, and law-abiding, and to report any criminal activities or breaches of public peace to the nearest police station.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Command also gave out contacts of various Police units for residents to report any act of lawlessness.<\/p>\n
