Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the jailed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has increased his demand for the cessation of repeated sit-at-home operations in the country’s south-eastern region.
In a video obtained by Newsmen, Kanu talked through one of his lawyers, Mike Ozekhome, SAN.
On Monday, Dan Nwomeh, the Senior Special Assistant, Mainstream Media to Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, tweeted the video on his Twitter account.
Kanu, according to Ozekhome, does not believe in the sit-in, claiming that he cannot fight for his people while shutting down their economy.

He bemoaned the impact of the sit-at-home exercise on people’s social, economic, cultural, and political life of the people, lamenting that it has put them under psychological, psychical and mental stricture.
”As his lead counsel and lawyer, he has told me that he does not believe in it (Sit-at-home); he can not be fighting for his people and shutting down their economy. How do they feed? How will they train their children? Many a time, he cried to me in my presence that he wants to be released so that he can hold a world press conference and address the Igbo and Ala Igbo and the entire world to say, ”Don’t stay at home on Mondays, go about your normal duties, go to work; because the Bible tells us it is upon the labour of your hands, I will bless the fruits of your labour.
”So, I am now re-echoing again and again what Nnamdi Kanu has told me, ”He does not believe in that sit-at-home on Mondays,” which cripples the social-economic, social-cultural and political life of the people, putting them under psychological, psychical and mental stricture and torture,” Kanu said through Ozekhome.
