The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), has declared a ‘sit-at-home’ in the South-East region today, Wednesday, in solidarity with its leader, Nnamdi Kanu who is billed to appear in court the same day on his trial on human rights violation.
Media and Publicity Secretary of the group, Emma Powerful, however, urged people of the region to remain indoors while those residing in Abuja he enjoined to move to the venue with Kanu
IPOB has exempted hospitals and their staff as well as journalists from the order.
“We hope people will comply with this order and obey our resolve to support our leader, Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB must allow our people like doctors, hospitals, nurses, ambulances and journalists to operate during the sit-at-home, because we don’t want pregnant women, sick people to have issues or complications because of their health.
“Doctors must come to the hospitals; but you must identify yourself and journalists must be allowed to operate and report what is going on in the whole of Biafraland”, Powerful stated.
