Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide on Monday urged Igbos to reject the factional leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa’s, two-week “sit-at-home” ultimatum.
It pleaded with all Igboland’s sons and daughters to go about their lawful business.
This was said by the group’s President-General, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, on Monday in Enugu.
While criticising Ekpa’s never-ending call for “Sit-at-home” in the South-East region, Iwuanyanwu claimed that more than 250 persons in the region had died as a result of the order’s enforcement.

Iwuanyanwu said, “In addition, the order has been instilling fears and trepidation in the good people of the zone, making it difficult for people to come out to transact their lawful businesses on the sit-at-home days.
Furthermore, the insecurity and unknown gunmen have been on the increase because of the sit-at-home order and it’s sad to see that Ekpa has announced another two weeks sit-at-home in the South-East.”
Ekpa’s new conduct, he said, was inappropriate and should not be allowed to succeed in Igboland.
Iwuanyanwu emphasized that just a few days before, Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the banned IPOB, on whose behalf Ekpa claimed to be working, asked the aforementioned Simon Ekpa “to end all sit-at-home in the South-East.”
