The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has announced new dates as sit-at-home order ahead of the court outings of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The new dates as announced by Emma Powerful, the spokesman of the group on Saturday are May 18 and 26 as sit-at-home in honour of Kanu’s court outings.
Emma Powerful equally disassociated the union from a viral voice note regarding sit-at-home-order insisting that the purported voice notes did not emanate from IPOB.
In a statement issued on Saturday, he said any dates other than May 18 and 26 were not from IPOB and should be disregarded.
Emma Powerful said, “The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU has been drawn to a purported voice note ordering Biafrans and residents of Biafraland to sit at home on a date other than May 18th.
This is the handwork of Nigerian paid agents and should be ignored.
“To this end, the only sit-at-home order emanating and announced by the IPOB leadership are the 18th and 26th of May 2022 being the dates our leader Nnamdi Kanu will appear in court.”
It will be recalled that in October 2017, the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice had on behalf of the Nigerian government filed charges against Nnamdi Kanu and the court case is still extant.
