Heavy downpour in the early hours of Thursday forced protesters to abandon plans to storm the streets of Imo State with the roads deserted.
The group scheduled mobilised for the protest but unfavorable weather conditions temporarily thwarted their efforts.
The roads remained eerily empty with residents staying indoors for fear of the unknown.
Typically bustling streets like Wetheral Road, Douglas Road, and Bank Road were eerily scanty with offices and businesses closing their doors, adding to the sense of unease and uncertainty that gripped the city.
