The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on Friday, declared an end to all sit-at-home order in the South-East and any other proposed means aimed by the group at forcing government to release him from detention.
Kanu made the declaration in a handwritten letter authorised to his special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, to be read out to journalists during a world press conference held in Enugu on Friday.
The IPOB leader stated that anyone henceforth engaging in any sit-at-home in the region is no longer his disciple.
Kanu, in a written declaration dated July 24, 2023, which Ejimakor read, followed the refusal of a factional leader of the group, Simon Ekpa, to announce the cancellation and further declaration through his media platforms.
Kanu, however, warned Ekpa to desist from calling for any sit-at-home henceforth and that ekpa should make a public announcement to the effect that he is in receipt of a direct order from him to cancel any pending sit-at-home in place at the moment.
