The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said there will
be no sit-at-home across the Southeast on Wednesday and Thursday next week.
IPOB relaxed the sit-at-home due to the scheduled judgment
of the High Court sitting in Abia State.
The court will on Wednesday rule on Kanu’s fundamental
rights suit.
However, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, however, limited
the sit-at-home order to Tuesday, when Kanu will appear before Justice Binta
Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court.
Powerful explained that the decision was to allow people of
the Southeast go about their lawful business as the court rules on Kanu’s
fundamental right suit.
In a statement he issued on Saturday, Powerful said: “We are
the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB under the command of our indefatigable
Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 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 lock down only on January 18 for obvious reasons.
“Biafrans should understand that 19th January is the
judgment day in the suit by our Leader against the Federal Government which is
pending before an Umuahia High Court. So, there will be no sit-at-home on that
day.
“Again, we don’t want to compound the pains of our people,
hence, we will limit the sit-at-home to only January 18. Biafrans and residents
of Biafra are free to go about their businesses without molestations on 19th
and 20th January. Anybody found enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home on
17th, 19th and 20th is criminal and must treat as such, IPOB leadership have
given order and that order is what signed.
“Everybody must be careful because this waves that is coming
will consume many and every principal of IPOB mostly the coordinators must know
that it will bounce on their heads if they don’t checkmate the activities of
members and call them to order. IPOB is not village or social club where
everybody will behave untoward to people like cultists.
“It is on the table and to the knowledge of IPOB leadership
how some principal officers were encouraging evils in IPOB without minding the
repercussions and consequences but we want to make categorically known to them
that it will come back to him or her that encouraged evil against his or her
fellow human beings
“For clarity sake, we reiterate that there will be no
sit-at-home on January 19th and 20th. Nobody is expected to interfere with
either human or vehicular movements in those days under any guise. Any
detractor or agent of darkness caught obstructing peoples activities in Biafra
land on January 19th and 20th in the name of enforcing sit-at-home will regret
his or her actions.”
Powerful disclosed that anybody seen enforcing sit-at-home
on those days mentioned were not members of IPOB.
“Anybody issuing order for sit at home on 19th and 20th of
January is not a member of IPOB. Such persons are working against the interest
of our leader and the entire struggle for independence. They should be
disregarded.
“For the umpteenth time, IPOB is under one Central command
and Control , and doesn’t have parallel or factional leadership. The Directorate
of State (DOS) under the command of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is in charge
of the global movement of IPOB.
“Anybody who is not loyal to DOS is an impostor and should
be disregarded.
“We expect our people everywhere to adhere to this directive
and refuse to be misled by sacked members of IPOB in Europe and America. IPOB
remains unshakeable, built and rooted on the rock and will remain so until the
freedom for Biafra is fully achieved,” he added.
