The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called for the arrest of anyone found enforcing the suspended sit-at-home order in the south-east.
The Pro-Biafra group had cancelled its planned sit-at-home scheduled to hold on Mondays across the region.
In a statement on Thursday, Emma Powerful, IPOB’s spokesperson, said: “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) 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,”

“We are advising our people to ignore anybody enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home order and go about their normal business, because such person(s) are working for our enemies and their intention is to blackmail IPOB and set the movement against the people, but they won’t succeed.
“Anyone caught adding to the pain of our people in the name of enforcing Monday sit-at-home order will be treated like the enemy that he or she is.”
The group added: “the only day the sit-at-home will be observed in Biafra land is when our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is appearing in court”.
“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 criminals must be treated in language they unserstand,”
