The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has called on residents of the Southeast to disregard the sit-at-home order issued by an unidentified group.
In a statement released on Monday, IPOB clarified that this order did not originate from their pro-Biafra organization.
Recall there have been audio and video messages circulating on social media warning residents in the region to avoid the streets.
The messages also advised parents and guardians to keep their children home from school.
Additionally, market and shop owners were cautioned against opening their businesses during this period.
In response, IPOB has encouraged residents to continue their daily activities as usual.
The IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful said, “IPOB did not declare any sit-at-home order on October 21 and 22.
“The illegal order is from criminal elements and Finland-based infiltrators who are not our members”.
