The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has called for an end to the Monday sit-at-homes in the southeastern region.
Daily Insight Nigeria reports that Kanu speaking through his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), said he does not believe in the sit-at-home and that it is counterproductive.
He said that the sit-at-homes are crippling the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the people, and that they are putting the Igbo under psychological, physical, and mental torture.
“I am now re-echoing again and again what Nnamdi Kanu told me,” He said.
“He does not believe in that sit-at-home on Mondays, which cripples the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the people, putting them under psychological physical, and mental torture,” he added.
Kanu, the IPOB leader was apprehended on Sunday June 27th, 2021. He was initially arrested on 14th October, 2015 on an 11 count charge bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society, publication of defamatory matter, illegal possession of firearms and improper importation of goods, among others.
