IPOB debunks one week sit-at-home order
….says ignore Govt agents
The Leadership of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, the Directorate Of State, and the Supreme Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu on Monday debunked wide claims about a one week sit-at-home order, saying its never authorised such.
In a statement made available to PERISCOPE NIGERIA by the Media and Publicity Secretary Emma Powerful, IPOB dissociated it organisation from the purported call for a one week sit-at-home to Biafrans.
According to him, the clearifications became necessary because Biafrans have sent inquiries asking if the IPOB leadership has called for a sit-at-home, stressing that they are not part of such order from alleged government paid agents whose agenda is to redicle the struggle to restore Biafra sovereignty.
The statement partly read, “Therefore, Biafrans should ignore the rabble rousers. There is NO sit-at-home scheduled. The purported one week sit-at-home jingle on social media is **NOT* from IPOB.
“We are not in the business of issuing irresponsible and non-existent sit-at-home orders. IPOB is a responsible movement and family. Our aims and objectives are to give peace and freedom to our people not to inflict more pain on the pains Nigeria has already inflicted on us. Those who came from the back door are nothing but thieves. Thieves come to rob, kill, and destroy. The agent provocateurs are on the same mission as the Nigeria government and her security agents to keep Alaigbo under security and economic siege while disguising as fighting for the release of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. How can keeping our people indoors for one week at this harsh economic times in Nigeria liberate our leader or Biafrans from the shackle of this contraption? Our people should start reasoning. As IPOB joins the call for our people who are under threat in Lagos to bring their investments home, some Federal Government Agent’s are trying to make Alaigbo unattractive for our people to return. They have failed.”
Powerful disclosed that those piloting IPOB affairs are intellectuals who know when to apply different strategies, adding that they can not indulge in the activities that would impact negatively on the people.
“Our Leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU can’t indulge in anything that will increase our people’s suffering. Our people should ignore the useless one week sit-at-home order from agents claiming to be fighting for Biafra freedom. Some of the foot soldiers of these Nigerian Agents in diaspora don’t realise that they were being used by enemies of Biafra to suffer Biafrans in order to make Biafra agitation championed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB unattractive. But their agenda is dead on arrival.
“We are not in the business to suffer Biafrans at this harsh economic time in Nigeria. Should IPOB decide to call for sit-at-home, we will communicate it publicly to Biafrans, and it will *not* *exceed one day.* Biafrans will comply with such an order, not the one coming from criminals enforcing sit-at-home by killing our people. If any fool is caught forcing our people to sit-at-home, he should be treated as a criminal that he is.
“Therefore , the public should ignore any rumours about a one week sit-at-home in Biafra Land.Those behind these devilish orders are not IPOB members, and they are not working for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” the statement added.
