Ebonyi state govt asks residents to ignore IPOB’s sit-at-home order or face severe punishment
The Ebonyi government has asked residents in the state to disregard the sit-at-home order of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The proscribed separatist organisation had said there will be a sit-at-home protest in the south-east tomorrow.
Emma Powerful, IPOB’s spokesperson, who announced the order on Saturday, had said the sit-at-home order is in solidarity with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the group, who is scheduled to appear in court on January 18, 19 and 20 for the continuation of his trial.
“Following our leader’s upcoming court proceedings on the 18th, 19th and 20th of January 2022 next week, we wish to remind Biafrans that there will be only sit-at-home on 18th of January, and not 19th and 20th of January. In keeping with our avowed solidarity with our Leader, the entire Biafra land will be on lockdown only on January 18 for obvious reasons,” the statement reads.
