The group had circulated a viral video announcing the launch of its alleged armoured vehicles.
Residents of the two states on Monday revealed that the sit-at-home order was initially ignored but gained traction after news of the massacre spread.
Thomas Eze, a trader in Enugu, noted, “Sit-at-home has been reduced to nothing in Enugu State. Banks, shops and businesses have been operating since its cancellation by the state government. Even when the latest one was declared, no one took them seriously.
“But when we heard about the massacre of some innocent people at Nibo in Anambra State on Sunday, we became cautious.”
Meanwhile, Mrs. Clara Eze, a parent, prevented her daughter from going to school despite the school not observing the sit-at-home.
She said, “My daughter attends University Secondary School. The school doesn’t observe sit-at-home.
“But today, I told her not to go. I would have allowed her to go as usual, but the fear of what happened in Anambra State made me tell her not to prepare today.
“I later made calls, and realised that many parents didn’t let their children go to school.”
James Itodo, a school proprietor, confirmed that few students attended school in Awka due to fear of the Anambra massacre.
“We opened for academic activities today, but not many students turned up. The fear of Anambra massacre caused it. We pray our region get better soon,” he said.
Aside from schools, Shops and filling stations in many parts of Anambra and Enugu remained shut.
Recall that the Enugu State Police Command had earlier urged residents to disregard the sit-at-home call, assuring protection against miscreants.
Earlier, the Anambra Police Command confirmed the killings at Nibo, Awka South LGA, during the Onwa Asaa Festival. The statement said a manhunt for the perpetrators has been launched.
Scores of people were reportedly murdered.

According to him, the party has also resolved to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Arabambi further blamed Obi and his supporters for contributing to Labour Party’s internal challenges during the 2023 elections, alleging organizational failures during the polls.
He maintained that Obi’s return to the party is completely off the table, insisting that the issue is already settled within the party’s leadership structure.

In a statement on Thursday, NNPP National Secretary Ogini Olaposi said the party is not affiliated with the ADC and has no plans to join or merge with the coalition.
He clarified that the involvement of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and members of the Kwankwasiya Movement in ADC activities does not represent the NNPP as a political party.
Olaposi also claimed that only a minority of Kwankwasiya supporters followed Kwankwaso, insisting that many of them have since joined the APC.
He further accused Atiku of misinformation, stressing that NNPP remains an independent political party focused on contesting elections on its own platform.
According to him, any previous association with the Kwankwasiya Movement ended after the 2023 general elections, adding that Kwankwaso and some associates had already been expelled from the party.
The NNPP maintained that it respects other political parties but has no interest in joining the ADC coalition.
