There is tension in Igboland on what Friday 23rd Sep­tember, 2016 would be like following a declara­tion of a sit-at-home for non-initiates and protests the world over for the im­mediate release of Nnam­di Kanu by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB.
As protests are ongoing in other countries, IPOB said Church services would hold in Biafraland and Nigeria by extension, even as it adds that every 'Biafran' man in Biafra­land or Nigeria should stay at home in obedience to the order.
A statement signed by Comrade Emma Power­ful, Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, insist­ed the protests will take place the world over to press home their demand for the immediate release of Kanu.
The statement reads in parts: ''The Directorate of State DOS and worldwide family members of the In­digenous Peoples of Bia­fra (IPOB) have declared 23rd Sept, 2016 for Bia­frans worldwide to protest against the continued de­tention of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and for the freedom of the Biafra peo­ple. The IPOB worldwide protest will take place in all the countries across the globe except in Biafraland and Nigeria where church services will be held.
"Every IPOB member and other Biafrans living in Nigeria and Biafraland will stay in their homes on that day.
"We also ask that all markets, schools, banks, transport companies and manufacturing compa­nies to close on the same day in solidarity with the overall objectives of the Biafra restoration pro­cess, irrespective of your persuasion or affiliation.
"Again, we call on Oka­da riders, Keke drivers, bus drivers, luxurious bus owners and drivers, The Nine Loaders (911 drivers and Owners) the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and National Association of Trans­port Owners (NATO) to withdraw their vehicles from the road on that day in solidarity with IPOB worldwide as we press for the release of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and for the total liberation of the Biafra people.
"We also advise every Biafran to switch off their communication devices, especially mo­bile phones on that day from 8am in the morn­ing to 4pm in the even­ing in solidarity. This will let the world know, including communica­tion companies, that Biafrans are serious to­wards the release of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the restora­tion of the ancient and sacred sovereignty of God's nation, Biafra."
