The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has amended its weekly Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast. The leadership of IPOB stated that the exercise would now be observed on the days its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is scheduled to appear in court to face trial.
Kanu has been in the State Security Service’s (DSS) custody since he was arrested in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria in June, this year. The earlier statement was that civil disobedience would not stop until Kanu was released.
However, while appearing on a radio programme on Friday, the group’s Head of the Directorate of State (DOS), Chika Edoziem, announced the amendment and suspension of the action.
As directed by the highest command of the IPOB, the Monday Ghost Town or sit-at-home in Biafra region stands suspended, which means in the coming Monday, there will be no Ghost Town in Biafraland
