 ‘Arrest those enforcing Monday sit-at-home,’ IPOB orders

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has enjoined community leaders and other established institutions in the southeast to apprehend anybody enforcing the Monday sit-at-home order.

According to spokesman of the group, Emma Powerful, those who have been enforcing the order despite its cancellation are not their members.

He reiterated that the order only stands when their leader, Nnamdi Kanu would be appearing in court. It, therefore, warned those behind it to desist in their own interest.

A statement issued by IPOB partly reads: “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra ably led by our prophet and liberator Mazi Nnamdi Kanu 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.

Powerful urged the people to ignore anybody enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home order and go about their normal business as their intention is to blackmail the group

”Anyone caught adding to the pain of our people in the name of enforcing Monday sit-at-home order will be treated as 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.”

He added “it will be recalled that IPOB leadership called for the Monday Sit-At-Home, and the same IPOB leadership has cancelled it. Nobody has the power 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 Biafra land is when our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is appearing in court, and we shall, as usual, make it public for all to know.

“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.” Powerful stated.
