I didn’t order anyone to sit at home in Southeast – Nnamdi Kanu
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said that he did not order any sit-at-home in the Southeastern region of Nigeria.
Kanu has described as rebels those who were compelling people to sit-at-home in the region.
He made this revelation while interacting with the leader of his legal team, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, at the facility of the Department of State Services, DSS, in Abuja, the country’s capital.
The denial of Kanu came following a 5-day sit-at-home order given by one Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed loyalist of Kanu who resides in Finland.
Ejiofor in a statement said: “Kanu unequivocally stated that he has not ordered any sit-at-home.
“He directs that all our people should go about their normal life and businesses without let or hindrance so as not to destroy the socio-economic life of our people, which have become the envy of all.
“Destructive activities of some hired marauders who are presently exploiting the temporary absence of Onyendu to cause untold mayhem, vandalism and calamity on our sacred ancestral lands were thoroughly discussed.
“Onyendu reiterated and emphasised his long-held position of distancing himself and his IPOB movement from the illegal and nefarious activities of these God-forsaken elements who mean no well for the Ndigbo and Alaigbo.”
