The detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has ordered a Sit-At-Home on the October 1, 2021, Independence Day of Nigeria, banning all Nigerian flags from flying in the entire South-East region, henceforth, .
The Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, made this known in a statement in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on Saturday.
His words: “IPOB has declared 1st of October 2021, total shutdown in Biafra land, as a sign of our rejection of the evil construct called Nigeria, and there shall be no movement in Biafra land on this day.
“Also, IPOB has declared from today, 25th September 2021, that all Nigerian flags mounted anywhere in Biafra land must be brought down, Banks exceptional. IPOB Leadership will communicate to Banks directly, and give them reason they must peacefully bring down Nigeria flag in their banking premises, before we do it ourselves in our own way.
“In line with the Memorandum of Understanding and alliance between Ambazonia and Biafra nations, we wish to ask Biafrans to support and celebrate Ambazonia Independence Anniversary on October 1, 2021.
“It is therefore, the delight of the Directorate of State of our great movement, IPOB, that we inform Biafrans all over the world of this upcoming Independence Day celebration of our great Ally and neighbour, the Ambazonian people billed for 1st of October 2021.
“We, therefore, urge World Leaders to use the opportunity of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly meeting, to discuss the sufferings of the two persecuted nations of Biafra and Ambazonia. Our people have suffered enough in the hands of our oppressors who are in bed with terrorists, but derive pleasure in crushing peaceful Agitators instead of addressing our genuine concerns.”
