IPOB Declares Sit-At-Home In South East

The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced that there would be a sit-at-home in Nigeria’s south-east on 30 May.

The IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, who disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, said the civil action was intended to honour those who lost their lives while fighting for Biafra Independence since the struggle began in 1967.

IPOB is leading the agitation for an independent state of Biafra, which it wants to be carved out from the South-east and some parts of the South-south.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB set aside the 30th of May every year as a special day to honour gallant men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to live as a people.

“Daily, Biafrans are murdered in cold blood, illegally abducted and unlawfully detained in Nigeria in the quest for Biafra freedom. The sacrifices and memories of these heroes and heroines will never be forgotten,” Mr Powerful said.

The group claimed the Nigerian government “dubiously removed” history from the country’s educational curricula so that descendants of Biafra would not remember the fight for freedom and those who died in the struggle for their freedom.

“But IPOB leadership refused to let the labours of our heroes go in vain. Therefore, fellow Biafrans, this 30th May 2023 is another sacrosanct day to remember our fallen heroes, heroines and comrades who died in defence of our land and for the birth of the Biafra Nation.

“IPOB family members should organise and observe this date in any form each country, zone, or unit considers best. IPOB leadership advise all to maintain peace and order during the event. During the commemoration ceremonies, three minutes of silence should be observed for the fallen heroes who paid the ultimate price from 1967-1970 till date,” he stated.

IPOB also asked residents of the South-east to stop observing the suspended Monday sit-at-home in the region.
