The group has, however, asked residents of the South-east to stop observing the suspended Monday sit-at-home in the region.
The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra has announced that there would be a sit-at-home in Nigeria’s south-east on 30 May.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB set aside the 30th of May every year as a special day to honour gallant men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to live as a people. “But IPOB leadership refused to let the labours of our heroes go in vain. Therefore, fellow Biafrans, this 30th May 2023 is another sacrosanct day to remember our fallen heroes, heroines and comrades who died in defence of our land and for the birth of the Biafra Nation.
But despite its suspension, residents of the five South-east states — Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Abia and Anambra — have been observing the Monday sit-at-home order, mostly out of fear. “Just as predicted by IPOB leadership, Nigeria security agents, infiltrators and government agents hijacked it and used it to torment our people and rubbish IPOB’s name in Biafra Land and other countries,” he added.
