Igbos In Diaspora Are The Ones Behind The Sit-At-Home Not IPOB – South East Govs

Governors from the South-East region of the country have said that Igbos in the diaspora are behind the sit-at-home order in the region and not the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The Governors made the claim at the end of their expanded security meeting attended by traditional rulers, national assembly leaders, and clergies from the zone on Tuesday, October 5.
