THE Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, has restated its irrevocable resolve to observe the sit-at-home order earlier issued by their leader, Nnamdi Kanu against the October 1st, 2020 independence anniversary.
This order, which is a peaceful protest of discontent with the injustices, misrule, oppression, genocidal killings, and other atrocities perpetrated by the Nigerian government.
A statement by Emma Powerful, media and publicity secretary for IPOB, warned that those using the cover of political office to surrender Ebonyi State to Miyetti Allah and their counterparts using the name of inconsequential and roundly compromised socio-cultural groups to issue statements designed to attract attention
“All Biafrans home and abroad are united in their resolve to lock Biafraland down on October 1 and no traitor can break our ranks or dent our resolve.
“All markets and business premises in Biafraland must remain closed from 6 am to 6 pm on October 1st. The same way, Biafran traders outside Biafraland should stay away from their shops and business environment on that day. All roads in Biafraland MUST be deserted. Every motor-park should be under lock and key, it must remain closed. Motorists, tricycles, and motorcycle operators should keep-off all roads in Biafraland.
“More importantly parents and guardians should not make the mistake of allowing their children to step outside or gather in large numbers as terrorists are planning a deadly attack on that very day.
“There should be no public event, processions, or protests. Everybody in the Biafran territory must remain indoors from dawn to dusk. All Biafrans must remain indoors to avoid becoming victims of stray bullets because Nigerian Army and Police will, as usual, be out in force looking for who to kill,” he said.
According to the statement, people should boycott every activity in connection with the Nigeria independence anniversary because Nigeria has nothing to celebrate after 60 years of misery, poverty, state organised terrorism, and death.
It appealed to all Biafrans and sympathisers all over the world, including “our Oduduwa brothers and sisters” to join us in observing this order.
It added that “those who think we can drop our agitation for Biafra because of their promise of Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in 2023” must be joking.
