The Indigenous People of Biafra on Wednesday declared that its sit-at-home order scheduled for May 30 had been extended to 10 areas in northern Nigeria and Abuja.

It gave the 10 areas to include: Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Makurdi, Gigawa, Jalingo, Yola and Lafia.

It added that the order would also be observed in Ibadan, Benin, and Lagos.

In a press statement made available to our correspondent in Awka, Anambra State by the media and publicity secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, the group urged its members to strictly observe the order wherever they would be.

It maintained that this year’s Remembrance Day celebration of the group necessitating the sit-at-home would be unique and significant in every ramification.

The statement said “We the indigenous people of Biafra under the leadership and command structure of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to declare once again that the 30th of May 2017 remembrance day celebration and sit at home order issued to honour and remember our fallen heroes and heroines must hold.

“The sit at home order must be extending to other parts of Nigeria where Biafrans and supporters of Biafra have presence like Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Makurdi, Ibadan, Benin, Abuja, Lagos, Lokoja, Gigawa, Jalingo, Mubi, Yola and Lafia.

“This sit-at -home order/remembrance and honour of our fallen heroes which is slated to be observed on 30th of May this year will be the best thing to happen to the people of Biafra since 50 years.

The sit at home order is for the Ndi Igbo in the north. For those of y'all saying it's funny watch as Igbo businesses are shot by them. Abi you go force them go to their shops when they are paying respect to their dead heroes.

DONGOYARO1:
Is the sit at home meant for ibo traders alone? Abuja was also included, will ibo civil servants and politicians(senators and ministers) also obey the sit at home order?

Why dont you just tell all the ibos in these Northern states to go back to iboland. Is it not senseless to want to break away from Nigeria, and yet keep running to other part of Nigeria

DONGOYARO1:
Why dont you tell the ibos in those Northern state to come back to iboland. The ibos should stop acting confused if you really want to break away from Nigeria, then you need to stop running to other part of Nigeria

Agumbankembu:

The last time they left you vandals back, you came and murdered millions. Respect yourself.

What is this thing saying?
