IPOB says its leader, Nnamdi Kanu is not appearing in court on Tuesday, hence there is no sit-at-home that day.

South East self-actualisation group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has declared that there will be no sit-at-home on Tuesday 4th October 2022, because its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not appearing in Court on that day.
Contrary to the speculation that IPOB, leader Mazi Kanu is going to appear in court for his continued trial in Abuja, hence the Igbo and Biafra would accord him the usual solidarity by observing the sit-at-home, IPOB actually admitted going to Court in Umuahia, Abia State to challenge the alleged illegal abduction and extraordinary rendition of Kanu, from Kenya to Nigeria, adding however that its leader will be appearing into Court that day.

IPOB made the clarification in a statement by its image maker, Comrade Emma Powerful, entitled “No sit-at-home on Tuesday 4th of October 2022”.
The release insisted that the case at the Umuahia Court is for Nigeria government to provide evidence to the world on how and why it allegedly kidnapped and renditioned Kanu to Nigeria, and therefore urged the Igbo and Biafrans to go about their businesses on Tuesday.
The statement reads: “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the leadership and command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to remind Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom across the world that IPOB is not issuing a sit-at-home order on Tuesday 4th of October 2022.”
“The 4th of October 2022, is actually a day when IPOB is going to challenge the evil done by the Nigeria government over the illegal abduction and extraordinary rendition of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.
“Nigeria government must provide evidence to the world on how and why they kidnapped and renditioned our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria, at Umuahia High Court.
“Yes, that day is his Court date for IPOB, but our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not appearing in Court on that day, therefore, there will be no sit-at-home on that day. We want every Biafran both home and in the Diaspora to ignore such rumours (of sit-at-home), and anybody who is responsible for peddling that kind of falsehood should stop it immediately. IPOB leadership has not authorized such purported sit-at-home order.
“IPOB is watching those with such mindsets who suffer our people. They will regret their actions soon. Anybody who contributes to the death of our people will pay dearly whether he or she is a security personnel, civilian, religious leader, man, or woman, including the politicians who contribute in small or big measures to ensure that our people ensure human, and material losses. They will all pay dearly.”
