IPOB Pleased With Return Of Commercial Activities In South East

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that it was happy with the way the people shunned the intimidation by hoodlums who continued to enforce the suspended Monday sit-at-home order in the region.

In a statement, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary Emma Powerful said that the group has continued to call for the return of commercial activities in the region.

The group however urged Ndigbo to resist further intimidation and harassment by hoodlums and return fully to their business. 

They further advised South-East governors to provide security for the people rather than trying to confront IPOB and ESN operatives.

“We the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB ably led by our leader and prophet of our time Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to express our happiness that our people have decided to shun the intimidation and harassment of some hoodlums and gullible people being used by our enemies to enforce the sit-at-home we cancelled since August 9, 2021.

"It will be recalled that after the August 9th sit-at-home, IPOB suspended it and ordered that the second which was to hold on August 16, and subsequent ones remained cancelled, but people out of fear of hoodlums who wanted to cash in on it to rob people and bring bad name to IPOB have been observing it against our numerous directives.

“We are however happy that our people have woken up from slumber and have decided to go back to their businesses and normal life and activities and shun the intimidation of the hoodlums and ready to tell them that enough is enough of their intimidation band harassment.

“We hereby order our people to arrest and if possible mob anybody that will try again to enforce the sit-at-home that is not directed by IPOB leadership henceforth, even as we prepare to enter the new year," the Publicity Secretary said.
