The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dismissed an audio message circulating on social media asking residents of the southeast to observe a one-week sit-at-home from July 3 to 10.
The sit-at-home order, purported to have come from IPOB, with the tag #FreeNnamdiKanu, is aimed at forcing the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The audio message claimed that there will be dire consequences for anyone who ventures out on the said dates.
But while dismissing the audio message in a statement on Wednesday, the spokesman for IPOB, Emma Powerful, dissociated the pro-Biafran group from it, saying the message did not emanate from the group.
Powerful said, “You should know those people declaring the fake sit-at-home, and the criminal who is illegally destroying our land.
“I will issue an official press release against it two days to the date declared in the audio, but for now, the leadership of IPOB has asked me not to give it attention or attraction.”
