IPOB Reacts To Governor Mbah’s Ban Of Sit-At-Home Order In Enugu | READ DETAILS
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has reacted to Governor Peter Mba of Enugu State’s ban of the Monday sit-at-home order in the state.
ALL FACTS NEWSPAPER had reported that Governor Mbah in a statement released on Saturday, ordered the immediate stop of the sit at home order, effective from June 6, 2023.
Reacting, IPOB in a statement released by it’s media spokesperson, Emma Powerful, said they will back the governor’s directive as the sit-at-home order has been hijacked by criminals even after the leadership of IPOB ordered a stop to it.
Powerful’s statement read in parts;
“After our leadership initiated the Monday sit-at-home order to demand the release of our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU, who is currently being illegally detained at DSS dungeon, he directed IPOB leadership to stop the sit-at-home to avoid criminals capitalizing on that to harm our people.
“Though some Biafrans continued with Monday sit-at-home voluntarily, as our leader predicted, after the suspension order, some criminals and infiltrators hijacked it and started committing crimes and enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home.
“It is obvious that Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mba, should be made aware that IPOB has already suspended Monday’s sit-at-home. For him to publicly associate IPOB with Monday sit-at-home is obnoxious.
“If indeed Governor Mba wants to return to normalcy on Mondays, he will have the support of IPOB because those enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home are criminals.
“Someone wants to penalize our people, anybody enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home order is not helping IPOB and our leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU. Every member of IPOB and Biafrans should be coming out on Mondays for their business.
“However, the governor must know that Nigeria Police knows the criminals and the hideout of the criminals who enforce sit-at-home in some communities and claimed to be IPOB but are not. We are advising Peter Mba to ask his predecessor, Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who is responsible for the criminalities going on in Enugu State and other states. We listed some of the criminals in Enugu State and we will do such again to Dr Mba.”
