The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has stated that the liberation of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, would put an end to organized crime in the Southeast.
IPOB issued the call in response to Chief of Army Staff Taoreed Lagbaja’s warning about Simon Ekpa’s sit-at-home order.
Lagbaja has previously stated that the Nigerian Army will no longer tolerate the Southeast’s sit-at-home order.

The organization stated that it is not liable for Mondays or failed seven-day and alleged two-week sit-at-home directives and enforcement.
A statement by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, reads: “IPOB worldwide condemns the statement credited to the Nigerian Army linking IPOB to the incessant and destructive sit-at-home orders and enforcement in the Southeast.
“The Army chief, Gen Lagbaja Taoreed, will not claim ignorance of all the previous press releases written by IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu disassociating ourselves from Simon Ekpa and his criminal sit-at-home enforcers.
“The reckless and abusive sit-at-home strategy is from the autopilot group led by Simon Ekpa. We have consistently made it known that Simon Ekpa and his autopilot group are not IPOB members and do not represent Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in their violent enforcement of sit-at-home orders.

“If indeed the Nigeria government and her security agencies are interested in the peace of the Eastern Region, they should release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally, as pronounced by the Appeal Court of Nigeria in Abuja, and see their sponsored criminal agents using Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s detention to perpetrate crime go into oblivion and fade away.”
