EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it will lock down the south-east region if its leader, Nnamdi Kanu is not released from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) by November 4.

The outlawed separatist group is infamous for enforcing a sit-at-home order in the region in solidarity with Kanu who has been in the custody of the DSS since he was re-arrested in July.

On Tuesday, a federal high court in Abuja rejected Kanu’s request to be moved to Kuje Correctional Service Centre. His trial was adjourned till November 10.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Emma Powerful, IPOB spokesperson, said the fresh lockdown, which will be enforced between November 5 and 10, is in honour of Kanu.

“Following the adjournment of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s court case to 10th of November 2021, by the federal high court Abuja, we the great movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), wish to inform Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom that IPOB will lock down Biafra land from 5th of November to 10th of November except Sunday, November 7th, a day our people worship the Almighty God, Chukwu Okike Abiama, if the Nigeria government fails to release our leader unconditionally before 4th of November 2021.

“Our leader, onyendu Mazi Nnamdi must be released unconditionally on or before November 4, 2021 because he has not committed any offence known to any law.

“Failure to release our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi KANU on or before November 4, 2021, our one-week sit-at-home begins on November 5, 2021, till November 10,” the statement partly reads.

The group said the lockdown is a “necessary sacrifice” the people of the south-east will have to make until its independence is achieved.

According to IPOB, no resident of the region is expected to disobey the directive as “doing so amounts to challenging the will of the people on the Biafra project”.
