The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu on Tuesday, declared that the Monday sit-at-home in the southeast is “dead and buried.”
Kanu who spoke through his lead Counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, appealed to the people in the southeast to support the efforts towards the cancellation of the sit-at-home order.
He described the perpetrators behind the order as fraudulent who he said used the sit-at-home order to dupe people.
The sit-at-home order was initiated by IPOB to push for Kanu’s release, it was reportedly hijacked by criminal elements using the measure to cause havoc.
PLATFORM TIMES gathered that Kanu resolved to cancel the initiative and replaced it with Economic Empowerment Day, EED as part of the moves to stop the problem in the region.
A statement by Ejiofor read : “The Oracle #MNK himself has spoken. Even if it’s hitherto voluntarily observed, our people are advised to critically assess the unquantifiable damages arising therefrom, and wisely welcome this unequivocal pronouncement by #MNK cancelling any form of sit-at-home, and reject the dangerous tendencies of criminal elements using the revered name of #MNK to dupe the gullible and vulnerable.
“Before it was warships parked at the banks of river Benue and River Niger; then, it was Biafra coming in 150 days; now it is donors for a phantom two weeks sit-at-home palliative.
“Before you donate, ask yourself, where and places any imaginary sit-at-home was observed.
“Let our people put on their thinking caps, and resist these serial fraudsters whose sole aim is to exploit their undying love for Biafra and #MNK.
“Biafrans are gifted with wisdom and can no longer be subjects of violent manipulation.”
