- The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has distanced itself from the planned sit-at-home order in the southeast scheduled to take place between December 9 through December 14
- In a statement by the group’s secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB urged the southeast residents to ignore the 5-day sit-at-home order while noting it was not their call
- Earlier, Nnamdi Kanu’s self-acclaimed disciple, Simon Ekpa ordered a 5-day sit-at-home exercise that would serve as a protest in Igbo land against the forthcoming general elections next year.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has told the residents of South-East that it did not order any five-day sit-at-home order in the region.
The group, therefore, asked the people to ignore the order, describing it as a “senseless” order from those against the Biafra agenda, The Punch reported.
