Biafra: Join May 30 Sit-at-home, Pray With Lighted Candles – IPOB To Igbos In Lagos

The Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, has asked Igbos in Lagos State and other regions of Nigeria to join the sit-in on May 30th.

The command was issued by IPOB while calling Igbos to pray with lit candles and observe three minutes of silence on May 30th.

The group made the announcement in a statement signed by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.

“Biafrans in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria are encouraged to join the sit-at-home order on that day; it’s only one day.”

“We, therefore, advise Biafrans and other residents in Biafra territory to avoid endangering their lives or their businesses by obeying the sit-at-home order from IPOB leadership.”

“Wherever our people are or gathered on that day, they must pray with lighted candles and must observe 3 minutes of silence immediately at 12 noon,” the statement reads partly.

On May 30, IPOB declared a sit-in to mourn those slain during the Biafra struggle and subsequent agitation.

On May 30th, the gang ordered a total lockdown of all marketplaces, churches, schools, and social gatherings.
