Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader
IPOB adjusts weekly sit-at-home order
[From CHINEDU NWAFOR, Abakaliki]
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says it has suspended its weekly sit-at-home order, adding that the directive would now be observed only on days their leader, Nnamdi Kanu had court appearance.
This was contained in a statement signed by IPOB’s spokesman, Mr Emma Powerful and made available to Journalists on Saturday, titled “why we are reviewing the Monday indefinite sit-at-home order.”
The group had announced weekly sit-at-home order to be observed every Monday until its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is freed by Nigerian government.
According to the statement, the suspension of the sit-at-home by the IPOB Head of Directorate was as a result of a direct order from the leader of this great movement Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) understands the concern being expressed by the global IPOB family on the suspension of the weekly Sit-At-Home earlier announced by the IPOB Head of Directorate of State of the Indigenous people of Biafra.
“We know that our people embraced this civil action wholeheartedly and without any compulsion. The leadership sincerely appreciate the innate desire of Biafrans to sacrifice their time, resources and energy in ensuring that our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released unconditionally from the illegal custody of the Nigerian State who criminally renditioned him from Kenya to Nigeria.
“The suspension of the Sit-At-Home by the IPOB Head of Directorate was as a result of a direct order from the leader of this great movement Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“There is no gain saying the fact that one of the major fundamental guiding principle of IPOB is Command and Control. This simply means that all command from the Supreme leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) will be obeyed and implemented to the latter by the Directorate of State of the Indigenous people of Biafra.
“In accordance with the directive from our leader, our Sit-At-Home will in the mean time be observed on the date of our leaders Court appearances.
“The lPOB leadership urge Biafrans worldwide to take note of the next court appearance of our leader which is the 21st of October 2021. If however we have any reason or directive from the IPOB highest command that require us to reactivate the suspended Weekly Sit-At-Home, the leadership will not hesitate to lift the suspension and continue with the our civil action.”
