The Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) has declared a sit-at-home in all Southeast states in the country next week Tuesday.
IPOB has noted that the Tuesday’s sit-at-home order is a day of civil action across the Southeast.
The order is coming ahead of the Appeal court hearing of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu and the planned visit to Imo state by President Buhari.
According to the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful the sit-at-home will be a complete lockdown of the Southeast.
IPOB explained that it was implementing the existing sit-at-home order regarding Kanu’s court appearance.
Powerful”s statement reads in part: “The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, wish to announce to the general public, especially Biafrans that Tuesday 13th of September has been declared a day of civil action in the form of sit-at-home in Biafra Land.
“The Tuesday 13th September, 2022 civil action is very important for two reasons:
“First, our leader’s Appeal court hearing that was supposed to be on October 11th has been brought forward to 13th September, 2022. As usual we call on Biafrans and lovers of freedom to demonstrate our solidarity with our leader who has been bearing our yoke in detention for over a year now.
“There shall be a TOTAL LOCKDOWN of the whole of Biafraland on Tuesday the 13th of September 2022. The Imposter Buhari cannot be coming to Imo State while he continues to detain our leader Mazi Nnamdi in the DSS custody.”
The separatist group urged people of the Southeast to go about their Monday’s activities and prepare for Tuesday’s lockdown completely.”
The IPOB leader also reiterated its call for the unconditional release of its leader.
The Indigenous People of Biafra is a nationalist separatist group in Nigeria that aims to restore the Republic of Biafra, a country which seceded from Nigeria prior to the Nigerian Civil War and later rejoined Nigeria after its defeat by the Nigerian military.
