The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is set to shut down the South-East and other Igbo-speaking communities in the country, on May 30.
This disclosure was made in a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, and made available to Post-Nigeria, on Saturday evening.
The statement partly reads:
“30th May 2017, will be a public holiday of remembrance for the sacrifice our heroes and heroines made for the sacred land of Biafra, therefore we must honour them.
“There will be no movement throughout Biafraland, and every area where a majority of Biafran population reside. Both Biafraland and wherever our people live across the globe will come to a standstill.
“Therefore, we expect every man, woman, child, and business, to observe this great annual event, by staying at home and not engaging in any business activity.
“There will be no movement in Biafraland, both human and vehicular. Biafraland will be shut down completely as a mark of dignified respect to those that sacrificed their lives for us.
“That is the least we can do to show them and Almighty God that this generation of IPOB and those to come will remain forever indebted to them that gave their lives to stop the elimination of the Biafran race from the face of the earth.”
