August 14, (THEWILL) – South-East separatist group, the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has suspended the Monday sit-at-home order.
IPOB had ordered its followers and people of the South-East to sit-at-home every Monday.
The move was aimed at prevailing on the Federal Government to release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
However, in a new directive by IPOB’s Head of Directorate of States (DOS), Chika Edoziem, on Friday evening, the group announced the suspension of the action.
Edoziem said the ‘Sit-At-home’ would be declared whenever Kanu will be making an appearance in court and not every Monday as earlier directed.
A statement on the new directive by, Edoziem, said: “I wish to announce this very evening, that as directed by the highest command of this noble movement, our Monday Ghost Town or sit-at-home in Biafra land, stands suspended for now.
”The weekly sit-at-home stands suspended, which means in the coming Monday, there will be no Ghost Town in Biafraland.
“Our sit-at-home will be on each court date when our leader, Onye Ndu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be appearing in court.”
