Ohanaeze Ndigbo appeals to residents in the Southeast zone to ignore the sit-at-home

Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday, appealed to residents in the Southeast zone to ignore the sit-at-home directive by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over the arrest and detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, noting that the economic loss from such exercise would be enormous.
The group also argued that the sit-at-home order, if complied with, might destroy the backstage activities and efforts of Igbo leaders and politicians to use diplomatic means to get him released, adding that there was hunger and hardship in zone as a result of adherence to such directive in the past.
In a statement in Abakaliki, the Secretary General of the Chidi Ibeh-led faction of the group, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, urged the Federal Government to release the leader of IPOB to avert possible breakdown of law and order across the country.
