The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has encouraged Igbos in Lagos State and other parts of Nigeria to join in the May 30th sit-at-home order.

IPOB gave out the directive telling Igbos to pray with lighted candles and observe three minutes of silence on the set date.

The group made this known in a statement signed by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.

Parts of the statement read: “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 sit-at-home was declared to remember those killed during the Biafra struggle and the agitation so far.
