The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared a ban on Nigeria’s Independence Day celebration across the Southeast on October 1.
IPOB warned that the Nigerian flag will not fly, there will be no Independence Day activities for students, and businessmen should go about their lawful activities in the Southeast tomorrow.
In a statement signed by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB’s Directorate of State cautioned Igbos against celebrating Nigerian Independence because Biafra would soon be actualized.
According to Powerful: “The Directorate of State (DOS) of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wishes to remind Biafrans at home and in the diaspora that the ban on the celebration of the ZOO Nigeria annual October 1st Independence Day by Biafrans is still in force. As a Biafran, you are to avoid any Nigeria Independence celebration globally.
