The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Thursday agreed with Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, did not order the Monday sit-at-home in the South-East.
It also blamed some people living in Europe and America for enforcing the sit-at-home.
Abaribe, the Senator representing Abia South and Senate Minority Leader had last week, in Enugu, said that IPOB leader told him, Ike Ekweremadu and other Bishops that he never ordered any sit-at-home.
Agreeing with Abaribe, Emma Powerful, IPOB’s media and publicity confirmed the statements from Senator Abaribe.
Powerful said the group had stated it before now that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, through his lawyers had asked IPOB members and leadership precisely, the DOS, to stop Monday sit-at-home order.
The group while disassociating itself from the sit-at-home, urged people in the region to go about their normal businesses.
“Those enforcing the non-existent Monday sit-at-home order killing and burning down properties belonging to Biafrans will incur the wrath of IPOB in due cause.
“We are watching them because soon their cups will be full and overflow. If you know you are truly for Biafra freedom don’t fall into these liars and deceivers because the truth will soon emerge.
“They will soon regret their actions because they are not IPOB members and don’t know or understand what IPOB is capable of doing. They must regret what they are doing in our land. Their actions are detestable both to God and to man. Such people have nothing in common with IPOB.
“This recent information and statement from Senator Abaribe has vindicated our legal team and DOS who obliged the information from our lawyers who indicated how our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, instructed us to stop Monday sit-at-home.
“Those in America and some parts of Europe, issuing fake orders to blackmail IPOB and its operational leadership that the lawyers lied should be ready to embrace what is to come against them. It’s better everybody hears Senator Abaribe, but those claiming to be Nnamdi Kanu disciples and using it to change IPOB strategy will regret their actions.
“Again, it has come to the knowledge of great family of IPOB that they are now peddling lies against IPOB and our leader that he sidetracked the people of Ebonyi State in the leadership of IPOB. Such tissue of lies do not merit any response as doing so will amount to dignifying it.
“The truth is that the entire Biafraland is fully represented in the leadership of IPOB. The gullible minds are following the gimmicks and antics these ‘confusionists’ are using to deceive them. IPOB is one family today, tomorrow and forever and nothing will change that strategy which is holding us together till eternity.”
