The President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George
Obiozor, has criticized the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, over the
sit-at-home order in the South-East.
Obiozor said the sit-at-home order was a slur to the region.
Addressing Ohanaeze’s Ameobi at the body’s headquarters
yesterday, Obiozor lamented that businessmen had incurred losses due to the
sit-at-home order.
He also lamented the spate of insecurity across the
South-East.
According to Obiozor: “The Monday sit at Home is a slur on
the Igbo. It is strange for a group to face the barrel of the gun inwards. Many
people have estimated the huge loss the South-East incurs on a weekly basis as
a result of the sit-at-home order. Ohanaeze Ndigbo has tried severally to
persuade our youths to realize the consequences of their actions.
“Insecurity has pervaded almost all parts of Nigeria, but
each geo-political zone has its own peculiarity.
“The advent of insecurity in the South-East is both bizarre
and dramatic. The South-East had been adjudged the most serene and peaceful
zone in Nigeria until April 5, 2021, when gunmen attacked the Correctional
Facility in Owerri, Imo State and freed a total of 1,844 prison inmates. Since
the April 5 episode, insecurity in the South-East has attained an unprecedented
unbearable crescendo.”
IPOB had initiated the Monday sit-at-home order to demand
the release of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Following an outcry, the group limited the sit-at-home to
only days Kanu would appear in court for his trial.
However, some unknown groups have been enforcing the Monday
sit-at-home order.
