The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced the cancellation of its sit-at-home order across the South-East, following a directive from its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement issued on Saturday, IPOB said the decision was taken after Kanu ordered the leadership of the group to suspend the action in the interest of peace and normal economic activities in the region.
According to IPOB, Kanu instructed the leadership to suspend the action in the interest of peace and the return of normal economic activities in the region.
The group said the move is aimed at easing hardship on residents and allowing businesses, schools and other daily activities to run without disruption.
IPOB urged people in the South East to go about their lawful activities. It also reaffirmed its commitment to non-violence and peaceful engagement.
