The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has commended residents in Southeast for disobeying the five-day sit-at-home order by pro-Biafra group led by Simon Ekpa.

The group expressed happiness that the oppressive order planned by enemies of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and Biafra has failed and will continue to fail.

In a statement by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group noted the enforcers of the sit-at-home were totally disappointed by the resoluteness of Biafra people.

The statement reads: “The enemies of Biafra restoration who conceived, planned, and wished to carry out this wicked skim were totally disappointed by the resoluteness of Biafra people. Our men and women went to their places of business and trade without listening to the mad people singing their masters’ song of slavery.

“Our people stood up to them today and said NO MORE! We will no longer serve you. NO MORE! We have one Leader. NO MORE! We follow command and control. And, NO MORE! We shall no longer act cowardly in our own land. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! You can no longer bully us.

“To the extent that markets, offices and businesses in Biafra Land, from Afikpo, to Igweoch, Onitsha to Owerri, Nnewi to Umuahia, from Ahaba to Okigwe and beyond were open for business today, we raise our hand and duff our hats to you great Biafrans everywhere. We know that it took all of us to defy this order from the pit of hell that was meant for the destruction of Biafra people,” it said.

He called on all the residents in the region to remain fearless in opposing such order. (The Nation)
