The Indigenous People of Biafra has begun the distribution of flyers across the South-East to further sensitise residents on its commitment to end the sit-at-home order in the zone.

This was as the group further stressed it had no link with the self-imposed prime minister for the Biafran government in exile, Simon Ekpa, saying anybody caught enforcing the sit-at-home order in Igbo would be dealt with.

The IPOB, in a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, on Saturday, said, “This is to inform Biafrans about the flyers and posters being distributed all over Biafraland conveying our leader’s famous pronouncement canceling the Monday sit-at-home and to inform the good people of Biafrans that sit-at-home is not only dead but will never again be invoked or deployed as a tool of disobedience in our quest for self-determination.

“Any person or persons talking about a non-existent sit-at-home in Biafraland is an enemy of the people and shall be dealt with accordingly. The instructions to distribute these flyers by hand and paste posters to this effect were authorised by our prophet and indefatigable liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”

The group emphasized that the Kanu had ordered the permanent end to Monday sit-at-home in the region.

It added, “These criminal elements are not working for Biafra restoration nor the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is unlawfully detained in the DSS solitary confinement in Abuja Nigeria.

“Those purporting to be running a Biafra government in exile from somewhere in Finland also known as autopilot are not IPOB members and their activities do not represent the views of the Supreme Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, rank and file IPOB membership or ESN operatives.”
