The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has strongly denied involvement in the October 21-22 sit-at-home order, attributing it to government-backed infiltrators and criminals seeking to tarnish the movement’s peaceful reputation.<\/p>\n
In a statement, IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful clarified that the group has suspended sit-at-home orders, labeling anyone issuing such directives as “criminal elements.” He urged South-East residents to disregard the order, emphasizing IPOB’s commitment to transparency and peaceful means.<\/p>\n
The disputed order had warned residents to stay indoors, keep children from school and close businesses, threatening non-compliers. Powerful assured IPOB doesn’t threaten residents, stressing they always make public announcements for sit-at-home declarations.<\/p>\n
The sit-at-home directive has in recent time disrupted commercial activities in some part of the South-East region.<\/p>\n
IPOB, a pro-Biafra group, seeks independence for the South-East region. Recently, the movement has faced accusations of violence, prompting IPOB to reaffirm its commitment to peaceful activism.<\/p>\n
The disputed sit-at-home order may fuel tensions between IPOB supporters and government authorities. Residents are advised to remain cautious and verify information through reputable sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
