Nigeria's secessionist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has asked its members to observe the sit-at-home exercise on May 30, Biafra Remembrance Day.
The group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said they chose to sit at home and remember their fallen heroes rather than marching to the streets where the Nigeria security agents could launch attack on them.
According to IPOB, “We wish to alert Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of Biafra freedom about the strategies mapped out by the Nigerian government and her security agencies to deal with the people of Biafra during the remembrance day celebration of our fallen heroes and heroines that laid down their lives during the genocidal war of 1967 and 1970.
“Nevertheless, we are calling on every Biafran to stay at home on that particular day to avoid the security operatives who wish to kill the people of Biafra for nothing.”
