The Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) has called on the Igbos residing and doing business in Lagos and other parts of the country to participate in the May 30th sit-at-home order.
While issuing out the directive, IPOB urged the Igbos to pray with lighted candles and observe three minutes of silence on May 30th.
The May 30th Sit -at-home order was disclosed this in a statement signed by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.
The statement reads in part “Biafrans in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria are encouraged to join the sit-at-home order on that day; it’s only one day.
“We, therefore, advise Biafrans and other residents in Biafra territory to avoid endangering their lives or their businesses by obeying the sit-at-home order from IPOB leadership.
“Wherever our people are or gathered on that day, they must pray with lighted candles and must observe 3 minutes of silence immediately at 12 noon,” the statement reads partly.
IPOB had declared a sit-at-home on May 30 to remember those killed during the Biafra struggle and the agitation so far.
The group had directed a total lockdown of marketplaces, churches, schools, and all social gatherings on May 30th.
The IPOB sit -at -home will be coming just one day after president -elect, Bola Tinubu would have been inaugurated.
