The Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from his Sokoto Correction Centre has announced a final ban on the Sit-At-Home order on Mondays across South East.
Kanu has also ordered a manhunt for those he described as fake IPOB members who go about causing fear in Igbo land in the name of sit at home on Mondays.
It would be recalled that on Feb. 2, 2026, traders at Onitsha Main Market and others in obedience to the directives of Gov. Chukwuma Soludo opened their shops for business on Mondays
According to a statement on Sunday signed by Comrade Emma Powerful, the Publicity Secretary of IPOB, the directives was by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Sokoto Correction Centre.
“This directive comes directly from Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu himself, who has once again staked everything in the line to ensure that our children return to school every Monday and that our people go about their their businesses without fear.
“There is now no need, excuse, or justification for anyone to stay at home on Mondays. All markets, schools, offices, transport services, and economic activities must resume fully and normally from tomorrow. This is the clear and unequivocal order of the Supreme Leader of IPOB.
“Onyendu has made it abundantly clear that any individual or group attempting to enforce sit-at-home from this moment forward is acting against his direct command. Such persons are enemies of our people and the Biafran cause,” Powerful said.
He stressed that Kanu had announced that any one or group of persons found to be propagating the sit at home order would be hunted until he is apprehended
“They will be pursued to the ends of the earth and confronted until they are completely defeated.
“We are aware that enemies of Biafra may attempt false-flag operations designed to create fear, stage attacks, or intimidate our people into staying indoors. Let it be known that any person or group identified as enforcing or enabling sit-at-home will be confronted wherever they are. Our people must remain vigilant, calm, and law-abiding”
“Our enemies have in the past succeeded in instigating crises and planting seeds of discord among our people. We must not allow them to succeed again. We are one people, united by a common destiny. Our struggle is for freedom, dignity, and justice for all, not just for Biafrans”
“We therefore call on all our people across the South-East to come out tomorrow, open their shops, go to work, and send their children to school without fear”
“The era of Monday sit-at-home is over” he said.
