The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has charged Igbos in Lagos State and other parts of Nigeria to take part in the May 30 sit-at-home order.
IPOB issued the directive while urging Igbos to pray with lighted candles and observe three minutes of silence on May 30th.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Emma Powerful, the group’s spokesperson.
“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.
IPOB had declared a sit-at-home on May 30 to remember those killed during the Biafra struggle and the agitation so far.
