The Indigenous People of Biafra has declared another sit-at-home for Wednesday (today) as its Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, appears in court again on the same day.
The order was contained in a statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, on Tuesday.
The statement urged people of the South East to remain indoors while those residing in Abuja were enjoined to move to the venue of the trial with Kanu.
IPOB, however, exempted some critical sectors and their practitioners, including hospitals and their staff as well as media houses and journalists, from the sit-at-home.
The statement by Powerful said: “Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu goes to court tomorrow 10th of November and our people should stay indoors while others move to Abuja in solidarity with our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and we are expecting Nigeria government and DSS to release him unconditionally because he committed no crime to seek his people’s freedom from Nigeria.
“We hope people will comply to this order and obey our resolve to support our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB must allow our people like doctors, hospitals, nurses, ambulance and journalists to operate during the sit-at-home because we don’t want pregnant women, sick people to have issue or complications because of their health.
“Doctors must come to the hospitals but you must identify yourself and journalists must be allowed operate and report what is going on in the whole of Biafraland.”
