June 29, (THEWILL) – The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has dismissed an audio message circulating on social media asking residents of the southeast to observe a one week sit-at-home from July 3 to 10.
The sit-at-home order, purported to have come from IPOB, with the tag #FreeNnamdiKanu, is aimed at forcing the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
But when contacted on Thursday, Emma Powerful, the spokesperson of the IPOB, told Premium Times that the sit-at-home order did not emanate from the group.
“IPOB did not declare the infamous sit-at-home. Those doing that (declaring the sit-at-home) are criminals who want to use Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s name and IPOB to perpetrate criminalities in the South-eastern states, but it won’t work for them.
“They want Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to remain in the SSS solitary confinement”, he said.
