No sit-at home on Monday and Tueday - IPOB
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
has denied claims ordering a to sit-at-
home order across the Southeast region on October 18, 19, and 21 for its
leader, and one year anniversary of
#EndSARS protest.
In a statement released by its Media
and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful,
IPOB warned those behind the rumour
to retrace their steps and stop
tarnishing its image.
The group said it did not issue any sit-
at-home directive except on October 21
when its leader was expected to appear
in court.
The statement in part reads "Our
attention has been drawn to the
fabricated statement being circulated by
mischief makers and paid agents of
darkness that IPOB had directed
Biafrans to sit-at-home Monday,
October 18; Tuesday, October 19; and
Thursday, October 21 for our leader, and
One year anniversary of#EndSARS
protest.
"We want to make it categorically clear
that the above purported statement did
not emanate from IPOB, and we
completely dissociate with such
falsehood.
"IPOB did not issue any sit-at-home
except on October 21 when our leader
is expected to appear in court.
"We, therefore, urge members of the
public to ignore the purported
statement and utter falsehood being
peddled by paid agents of the
government to create confusion and
demarket IPOB.
"Their intension is to portray IPOB as a
violent and insensitive movement but
we know their antics, and shall beat
them to it.
"For the sake of clarity, IPOB has not
called for any sit-at-home except on
Thursday, October 21 when our Leader
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will appear in court
in Abuja.
"Biafrans will solidarise with him by
staying indoors on that day because we
are all in the struggle together. He did
nothing to deserve any persecution by
the federal government.
"As a responsible and responsive
movement, we stopped Monday Sit-at-
homes in the interest of our people.
When we discovered that hooligans and
paid agents of death wanted to hijack
the opportunity to unleash mayhem on
our people are cleverly blame it on
IPOB, we stopped it.
"So, anybody sitting at home on
Mondays does so out of ones volition
and not on the orders of IPOB."
