IPOB disassociates Self from Weekly Sit-At-Home Orders.
The Indigenous people of Biafra IPOB has said that it’s not responsible for the reoccurring sit at home orders being observed almost on a weekly basis in the South Eastern region of Nigeria.
In a statement, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, warned that people who were enforcing the sit at home order will face the wrath of IPOB. He said this in response to many complaints of hoodlums who are thought to be IPOB members bothering neighbors every Monday.

“If we catch anybody disturbing the peace of Biafrans or residents in Biafraland under the guise of enforcing non-existent sit-at-home order, such a person will regret his action because he will receive the reward of traitors.
“IPOB is a responsible organization with reasoning and empathy. We cannot be part of the problem we are trying to solve. We cannot join the enemies to compound the woes of the people we are fighting to liberate.”
“That was why we suspended the ghost Mondays that we earlier declared because of the economic implications to our people. We listened to appeals by the people and reviewed our stance on the matter.
“That was why we reduced the sit-at-home protests to the days our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be making appearances in court. That is enough for now and we stand by it.
“Anybody trying to impose another sit-at-home order on our people or enforce illegal or imaginary sit-at-home is not IPOB and must be dealt with. Such a person(s) is working with the enemies to disrepute IPOB and we won’t tolerate such stupidity.”
IPOB stated that it will never support the actions of hoodlums who burned examination papers in Nkume, Njaba council area of Imo State, on Monday, while imposing a Sit-At-Home.

“We strongly condemned the barbaric act by hoodlums and mentally deranged fellows who disrupted a WAEC exam in a school in Imo State on Monday. What a stupid madness! Whoever was behind such barbarity must be made to pay for their actions.
“IPOB leadership is hereby promising to replace those motorbikes burnt in the school to their owners and rebuild school blocks burnt by hoodlums in the name of ESN and IPOB volunteers.
‘This is not to portray or indicate that IPOB committed the heinous crimes against our people. We promise to set up a task force to checkmate those parading themselves as IPOB volunteers and those committing this crime against humanity and our people.
“We plead to Biafrans to bear with us for this dastardly act against humanity they are using to disrepute and demonize IPOB in the world. We are calling on the school management and those whose properties were destroyed to contact any IPOB office near to them for possible payments of their properties.”
