Aloy Ejimakor is Nnamdi Kanu's senior lawyer.
After visits by Governor Soludo and others to Nnamdi Kanu, Mr Kanu told Aloy Ejimakor to issue a press statement on his behalf to disown the sit-at-home order. Mr Kanu condemned the violence in the east at that time. Mr Kanu also disowned the sit-at-home order during one of his court appearances.
Mr Ejimakor says he is not against Governor Soludo's attempts to end the sit-at-home, but he says that the governor should use dialogue rather than force. He says that he tried to end the sit-at-home by force when Kanu gave him instructions to do so, but it didn't work.
He quotes the Anambra Commissioner of Police who says that they cannot force people to come out, because people have a constitutional right to stay at home, but they will provide security so that those that want to go out can go out.

ANAMBRA POLICE OUTLINE STAGES OF SECURITY CONCERNS LEADING TO STATE GOVERNMENT CORRECTIVE MEASURES; SAYS POLICE ARE NOT THE ENEMY BUT THOSE WHO SEEK TO INFLICT SUFFERING ON THE PEOPLE
The Anambra State Police Command wishes to explain the security concerns stages that led to the corrective measures recently taken by the Anambra State Government to enhance safety and security in the State, particularly the efforts aimed at discouraging the illegal Sit-at-Home and closure of markets on Mondays.
The Command notes that the first stage of addressing the security challenges occurred when criminal elements launched attacks on security operatives and destroyed government facilities in an attempt to instil fear in the residents of Anambra State. Despite these attacks and the prevailing conspiracy of silence, in which residents initially feared volunteering information, the security forces remained resolute and demonstrated courage and professionalism.
A positive shift in public attitude marked the second stage, as residents gradually became bolder and began to assist the Police and other security agencies by providing useful information to aid operations.
In the third stage, residents went beyond volunteering information and showed a stronger commitment by actively supporting the Police in identifying and apprehending criminal elements within their communities through the launch of Operation Udo ga achi.
Currently, the Anambra State Government, in collaboration with Ndi Anambra, has resolved to correct harmful practices arising from security concerns, including the illegal Sit-at-Home order and closure of markets on Mondays.
The Anambra State Police Command, on behalf of all security agencies in the State, assures the public of its continued commitment to protecting lives and property and maintaining peace and security across the State.
