The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced an end to all forms of sit-at-home deployments in South East Nigeria.
Daily Report Nigeria reports that the outlawed separatist group vowed never to deploy sit-at-home as a tool of civil disobedience in its quest for self-determination.
This was contained in a statement on Saturday by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.
The pro-Biafra group said it would never implement civil disobedience to demand self-determination.

The group further encouraged Biafrans to partake in the distribution of flyers, and posters to communities, hinterlands, and cities in Biafraland signifying the requiem mass for the “senseless Monday sit-at-home.”

It also denied having any government in exile as claimed by Nnamdi Kanu’s disciple, Simon Ekpa.
The statement reads:
“This is to inform Biafrans about the flyers and posters being distributed all over Biafraland conveying our leader’s famous pronouncement canceling Monday sit-at-home and to inform the good people of Biafrans that the sit-at-home is not only dead but will never again be invoked or deployed as a tool of civil disobedience in our quest for self-determination.
“Any person or persons talking about a non-existent sit-at-home in BiafraLand is an enemy of the people and shall be dealt with accordingly.”
He said: “The instructions to distribute these flyers by hand and paste posters to this effect was authorized by our prophet and indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu.
“It is to be stated for the umpteenth time, for those who may feign ignorance of the laws governing the conduct expected of IPOB family worldwide that our supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has ordered the permanent end to Monday sit-at-home in Biafraland and anybody seen enforcing this illegal and non-existent Monday sit-at-home will be apprehended and summarily dealt with on the spot.
“These criminal elements are not working for Biafra restoration nor the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is unlawfully detained in the DSS solitary confinement in Abuja Nigeria.
“Those purporting to be running a Biafra Government in Exile group from somewhere in Finland also known as Autopilot are not IPOB members and their activities do not represent the views of the Supreme Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, rank and file IPOB membership nor ESN operatives.
“Moreso, it is a shame to the memory of our brave martyrs that gave their lives for the emancipation of Biafra that individuals that never led ordinary street protests in Biafraland or anywhere in the world in support of Biafra restoration can claim to lead our people. This is an absolute disgrace.”
“IPOB, therefore, dissociated itself from a group it described as the “ social media Biafra Government in Exile (BGIE).”.
The group denied ever having any government in exile and “will never have any government in exile.”
“People that never led a protest anywhere in the world, were never detained, or held meetings with any international bodies can never claim to represent our people.
“Such a person is a charlatan, petty criminal, and a monumental fraud. Whoever is foolish enough to associate with such a fraudulent social media scam called Government in Exile (Autopilot) is doing so at his or her own risk and must not link Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB to it.
