Secessionist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has insisted that Monday sit at home in the South-East has been lifted.
The group made this announcement in a statement released to newsmen by the Media and Publicity Secretary of secessionist group, Emma Power on Thursday.
In the statement, Emma wondered why certain individuals would keep on enforcing Monday sit-at-home order which has been long cancelled by IPOB.
He went on to call on communities and religious leaders to arrest such thugs enforcing the Monday sit-at-home in any part of the South-East and hand them over to IPOB authorities.
Emma also revealed that the only sit-at-home order that should be obeyed is the one given during Nnamdi Kanu’s hearing in court.
The statement reads in part;
”We wish to reiterate once again that IPOB has cancelled Monday sit- at-home order and anybody or group enforcing the relaxed order is neither from IPOB nor from IPOB volunteer group.
We are advising our people to ignore anybody enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at- home order and go about their normal business because such person(s) are working for our enemies and their intension is to blackmail IPOB and set the movement against the people but they won’t succeed.
Anyone caught adding to the pain of our people in the name of enforcing Monday sit-at-home order will be treated like the enemy that he or she is.
We therefore, warn these agents of darkness using the name of IPOB to enforce a non-existent sit-at-home to desist because if we lay hold on them they will eternally regret their evil actions.
Why should such unpatriotic elements be inflicting pain on our people and dragging our image to the mud? IPOB remains a non-violent movement and our peaceful approach for Biafra restoration has not changed.
We hereby direct community leaders, market leaders, church leaders, and other institutions of authority in Biafra land to arrest any hoodlum trying to enforce any sit-at-home on Mondays and hand them over to IPOB. Such criminal elements must be treated in a language they understand.
“Nobody has the powers to enforce the same suspended sit-at-home using the name of IPOB. Such a person is an impostor working for the killing squad of the Nigerian DSS and Nigerian security agencies and should be treated as such if apprehended.
The only day sit-at-home will be observed in Biafraland is when our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is appearing in court, and we shall as usual make it public for all to know.”
