IPOB Declares Total Lockdown In The Southeast

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared a sit-at-home across the entire Southeast next week Tuesday.

In a statement, the IPOB declared that the sit-at-home will be a day of civil action in the Southeast.

The directive was given ahead of Nnamdi Kanu’s appeal court hearing and President Muhammadu Buhari’s planned visit to the Southeast.

According to the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, the sit-at-home will be a total lockdown in the Southeast.

Emma Powerful stated that the order was given in light of Kanu’s court appearance, and also called for the release of the IPOB leader.

According to the statement, “The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, wish to announce to the general public, especially Biafrans that Tuesday 13th of September has been declared a day of civil action in the form of sit-at-home in Biafra Land.

“The Tuesday 13th September 2022 civil action is very important for two reasons:

“First, our leader’s Appeal court hearing that was supposed to be on October 11th has been brought forward to 13th September 2022. As usual, we call on Biafrans and lovers of freedom to demonstrate our solidarity with our leader who has been bearing our yoke in detention for over a year now.

“There shall be a TOTAL LOCKDOWN of the whole of Biafraland on Tuesday the 13th of September 2022. The Imposter Buhari cannot be coming to Imo State while he continues to detain our leader Mazi Nnamdi in the DSS custody.”

The group advised residents in the Southeast to carry out their Monday activities and make all necessary preparations for Tuesday’s lockdown.
