Biafra: Sit-at-home is dead, buried – Nnamdi Kanu speaks directly to IPOB

The embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu says the unpopular sit-at-home in the Southeast is “dead and buried.”

Speaking through his lawyer, Kanu who is still in the custody of the DSS has urged residents of the region to reject those using his name to dupe people.

Kanu urged residents to welcome the cancellation of the order.

Recall that the sit-am-home order was initiated by members of the group to push for the release of Kanu who was arrested in Kenya in 2021.

But the initiative was hijacked by criminal elements using the measure to cause havoc.

In a bid to find a lasting solution to the sit-at-home havoc, Kanu had cancelled the initiative and replaced it with Economic Empowerment Day, EED.

A statement by Ejiofor reads: “The Oracle #MNK himself has spoken. Even if it’s hitherto voluntarily observed, our people are advised to critically assess the unquantifiable damages arising therefrom, and wisely welcome this unequivocal pronouncement by #MNK totally canceling any form of sit-at-home, and reject the dangerous tendencies of criminal elements using the revered name of #MNK to dupe the gullible and vulnerable.

“Before it was warships parked at the banks of river Benue and river Niger; then, it was Biafra coming in 150 days; now it is donors for a phantom two weeks sit-at-home palliative.

“Before you donate, ask yourself, where and places any imaginary sit-at-home was observed.

“Let our people put on their thinking caps, and resist these serial fraudsters whose sole aim is to exploit their undying love for Biafra and #MNK.

“Biafrans are gifted with wisdom and can no longer be subjects of violent manipulation.”
