The Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, has denied calling a sit-in in Lagos State.
Emma Powerful, the IPOB’s spokesman, called the remark “wrong and ludicrous.”
The purported order, according to Powerful, was the work of individuals attempting to blackmail IPOB.
In a statement, Powerful said: “The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU has been drawn to the laughable and disgraceful statement making rounds in the zoo that the noble movement of IPOB issued a sit at home order in Lagos State.
UPDATE: Simon Ekpa Declares IPOB Sit-at-Home In Lagos
“The statement is false, laughable, and coming from the quarters of blackmailers to disparaged IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“IPOB has never issued any sit-at-home order outside Biafra Land. Anyone issuing any sit-at-home orders in Biafra or in Lagos is on his or her own and not doing so on behalf of Mazi Nnamdi KANU or IPOB.
“Therefore, IPOB publicly disassociates ourselves from any purported sit-at-home call in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria, including Biafra Land at this time.
“Any day IPOB issues a sit-at-home order, the reasons for the sit at home will be made public, and it will be observed only in Biafra Region and any other regions that may like to join.”
