IPOB Calls On Police To Arrest ‘Crirminals Enforcing Monday Sit-At-Home’

The Indigenous People of Biafra, Thursday, said it had cancelled the Monday Sit-at-home and called on law enforcement agencies to arrest anybody implementing the order.

IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, stated this in a release. He urged residents of Southeast to go about their normal businesses on Mondays.

THE WHISTLER reports that Mondays are being observed as sit-at-home in southeast states since August 9 when the order was given by IPOB to press the release of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu is facing charges on alleged treason and running illegal organization, among others.

Mr Powerful stated that, “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 the Monday sit-at-home order and anybody or group enforcing the relaxed order is neither from IPOB nor from IPOB volunteer groups.

“We advise our people to ignore anybody enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home orders and go about their normal business because such person is 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 pains of our people in the name of enforcing Monday’s sit-at-home order will be treated as the enemy that he or she is.

“We, therefore, warn these agents of darkness using the name of IPOB to enforce a non-existent sit-at-home to desist because if we lay hold on them, they will eternally regret their evil actions.”

The group said enforcing the order was unpatriotic and aimed at ‘inflicting pains on our people and dragging our image to the mud?’

It added, “IPOB remains a non-violent movement and our peaceful approach for Biafra restoration has not changed.

“It will be recalled that IPOB leadership called for the Monday sit-at-home and the same IPOB leadership has cancelled it. Nobody has the power to enforce the same suspended sit-at-home using the name of IPOB.

“Such a person is an impostor working for the killing squad of the Nigerian DSS and Nigerian security agencies and should be treated as such if apprehended.

“The only day sit-at-home will be observed in Biafra land is when our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is appearing in court, and we shall, as usual, make it public for all to know.”

IPOB therefore called for the arrest of any person or persons implementing the order.

According to it, “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 criminal elements must be treated in a language they understand.”
