Ohanaeze appealed to the separatist group to explore other means to show solidarity for Kanu
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has urged the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra to suspend its sit-at-home directive issued to the South-East residents to demand the release of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.The sit-at-home order declared by IPOB is to be observed every Monday to protest the incarceration of the leader.
Reacting, the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Chief Alex Ogbonnia, in a chat with The Punch on Tuesday, condemned the killings and attacks on the people of the South-East on Monday.“We are sad that we lost yet other lives to the process. Violence is not to be celebrated in any way at all. We have always urged them to thread on the side of caution because we believe that dialogue and deliberations are better ways of achieving results,” he said.
