Why IPOB Declared Tuesday’s Sit-At-Home – Powerful

Spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Emma Powerful has given reason for the unusual declaration of Tuesday, September 14, 2021 as a compulsory sit-at-home across the Southeast.

IPOB in a statement issued by its spokesman, Powerful said the declaration is to honour  victims of the military raid in Afaraukwu, the home town of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu which took place in 2017.

The group declared in a statement that the raid on Nnamdi Kanu’s home at that time led to the death of 28 persons reportedly in the hands of the soldiers.

Affirming the declaration, IPOB spokesman, Powerful said:

“We the global movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to remind all Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of Biafra freedom across the globe that the sit-at-home order issued by the IPOB leadership to be observed tomorrow, Tuesday, September 14, 2021, is sacrosanct.

“The peaceful protest is for the remembrance of the victims of the genocidal invasion of our Leader’s compound at Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia on September 14 2017. No fewer than 28 innocent Biafrans were killed that day by the Nigeria Army during the raid.

“We advise all Biafrans, both men and women, to stay indoors tomorrow as a mark of honour to these fallen heroes and heroines. We must not fail to remember the supreme sacrifices of these great freedom seekers. Nothing done to honour them should be considered too much for they have watered the tree of Biafra freedom with their blood.

Noting the sacrifices of the IPOB leader, Powerful said:

“Our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has also made a lot of sacrifices for the restoration of Biafra. So, all of us must be prepared to play our roles to accomplish this great task. Biafra independence is a mandate that we must live to accomplish.”

“We won’t be deterred by the killings of Biafra agitators by Nigeria compromised security agencies who cannot confront Fulani bandits and herdsmen rampaging the country. They derive pleasure in killing and torturing innocent people agitating for their freedom while fleeing from real terrorists,” he said.
