The youth wing of the Elders Council of the Indegenous People of Biafra have joined in condemning the 5 days sit-at-home ordered by Simon Ekpa.
NEWSONE NIGERIA reports that the order has received condemnation from the IPOB, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Elders’ Council, among others.
Similarly, speaking after their meeting in Enugu on Thursday, the leader of the youth wing of the Elders’ Council, Comrade Ndubuisi Igwekani, aka Agu Biafra, said the pro-Biafra groups will no longer tolerate indiscriminate order for sit-at-home.
The group aligned with the position of the Indegenous People of Biafra, IPOB, which had cancelled all sit-at-home except days the IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would appear in Court.
They warned that any attempt to enforce the Ekpa-imposed order would meet stiff resistance, warning that no Biafra blood must be shed in the name of sit-at-home.
Agu Biafra, who spoke for the group, warned that nobody must be molested or prevented from going about their normal businesses.
“Enough is enough,” he said.
Anambra residents defy sit-at-home, express excitement over action
Residents of Anambra State have defied a five-day sit-at-home order called by a faction of the Indigenous People of Biafra, as normal commercial and economic activities took place across the major cities of the state.
A faction of the IPOB had through a video that circulated online last Tuesday, ordered the people of the South-East to observe a sit-at-home from December 9-14, 2022.
The video raised huge tensions, complaints, reactions and agitations from various quarters across the region concerning the negative effect of “locking” down the region for five days, especially as yuletide beckons.
But the tensions were doused when in a swift reaction, the pro-Biafran group, through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement, on Tuesday, directed the people to ignore the order, describing it as a “senseless” order from those against the Biafra agenda.
Our correspondent who went round the major cities of Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka, and Ekwulobia on Saturday, observed that normal activities went on, even as the people rejoiced over the last-minute cancellation of the order.
A market leader at the Nnewi Autoparts Dealers Market, Chief Stephen Asoh, said it would have been suicidal if the said five-day sit-at-home was allowed to stay, adding that the South-East is losing a lot of revenues as a result of the situation.
Again, Nnamdi Kanu urges ‘Biafrans’ to ignore 5-day sit-at-home order
The detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has again, asked residents of South East and all “Biafrans” to ignore the purported five-day order being circulated in a viral video.
Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, who spoke exclusively with Vanguard on Thursday after visiting the IPOB Leader at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS, where he is currently detained, said that his brother told him that he never issued any such orders.
According to him, promoters of “such senseless and anti-people order are the real enemies of Biafra.”
“My brother said: ‘At no time did I order anybody or group to issue such sensitive orders.
” He directed all IPOB members to ignore anybody calling for a 5-day sit-at-home.
” My brother said that our people should know that that those who issue such orders are the real enemies of Biafra, and must be dealt with.
” He equally told me that Biafrans should know that he is in detention for their sake and not to compound their problems.”
