IPOB disowns sit-at-home, says Kanu’s release will end S’East insecurity

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra has once again dissociated itself from the violent enforcement of sit-at-home exercise across the South-East.

The separatist group pointed out that if the Federal Government really wanted insecurity to end in the South-East, it should release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, unconditionally from detention as pronounced by the courts.

In a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Friday, IPOB condemned the statement credited to the Nigerian Army linking it to the incessant sit-at-home orders and enforcement in the region.

Powerful said, “The Army Chief, Taoreed Lagbaja, will not claim ignorance of all the previous press releases written by IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu disassociating ourselves from Simon Ekpa and his criminal sit-at-home enforcers.

The group cautioned the army chief against unleashing terror on the South-East people in the guise of going after sit-at-home enforcers, adding that “the government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu should not toe the same line of the past government.”
