Nigeria: Sit-At-Home - How IPOB Created Additional Job for Security Operatives

19 September 2018

Awka — FOR the third year running, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, a group of agitators campaigning for the actualisation of Biafra Republic out of Nigeria, ordered the people of the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones to sit at home to protest perceived injustices against the people of the South-East. This year's order coincided with the September 14, 2017 anniversary of the invasion of the country home of its founder, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at Afaraukwu, Umuahia in Abia State.

Other reasons given by IPOB for the order include the killing and detention of many Biafra agitators in various parts of the country and the arrest and detention of over 100 women protesting in favour of Biafra in Imo State.
