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

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has denied allegations that it plans to resume enforcement of the Monday sit-at-home order in the South-East region of Nigeria. In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB stated that its struggle is focused on achieving Biafran self-determination through peaceful means. Powerful accused the Nigeria Police Force of working with politicians and former members of the disbanded Directorate of State to circulate a fabricated intelligence report, which claimed that IPOB and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) intended to resume the sit-at-home order on October 12.

The statement emphasized that IPOB rejects these allegations and reiterated its commitment to peaceful means in its pursuit of Biafran self-determination.
