IPOB denies plan to resume Monday sit-at-home in South-East

IPOB has denied allegations that it plans to resume the Monday sit-at-home order in the South-East, asserting that its struggle is focused on achieving Biafran self-determination through peaceful means. The group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful, made the denial in a statement issued on Monday, accusing the Nigeria Police Force of collaborating with politicians and former members of the disbanded Directorate of State to circulate a fabricated intelligence report.

The report, allegedly signed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, claimed that IPOB and the Eastern Security Network intended to enforce the sit-at-home order on October 12, but IPOB dismissed these allegations as a distraction from Nnamdi Kanu's position on self-determination.
