IPOB declares May 30 sit-at-home in South-East to honour civil war heroes

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has declared May 30 as a sit-at-home day across the South-East to mark heroes who died during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war of 1967 to 1970.

The declaration which was made by IPOB’s Directorate of State (DOS), on Thursday, said on the day, all schools, government offices, private offices, banks, transport unions, market unions and private individuals will shut down all operations in honour of the “fallen heroes and heroines.”

In a post on its X handle, the DOS called on Biafrans all over the world to remember to mark the day with rallies wherever they are.
