The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has directed all schools, government offices, private offices, banks, transport unions, market unions to shut down operations across the Southeast on Thursday, May 30.
IPOB said the sit-at-home was to honour Biafran heroes who died during the civil war of 1967 to 1970
“We the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the indomitable and charismatic leader Mazi Nnamdi OkwuChukwu Kanu declares Thursday, May 30, 2024 a sit-at-home day in Biafra Land for all Biafrans, friends of Biafra, lovers of freedom, and all residents in Biafra Land.
We celebrate 30th of May as our heroes and heroines day when we remember the men and women who died that we may live, before, during, and after the Nigeria genocidal war against Biafrans between 1967 and 1970 and beyond and even until now.
“Annually, 30th of May is a solemn memorial day for Biafrans. To honor our heroes and heroines. Biafrans are asked to observe this one day sit-at-home in reverence to the spirits of our departed heroes who fought for us to be alive today.
“Every Biafran in Biafra territory is expected to sit-at-home on this day and reflect on the danger of the forced unity called Nigeria that has taken millions of lives of Biafrans. Other Biafrans outside Biafra territory are also encouraged to honor our heroes by observing the sit-at-home if possible or by limiting their activities on this day.
“To that effect, IPOB directs all schools, government offices, Private offices, Banks, transport unions, market unions and private individuals to shut down all operations in honor of our heroes and heroines on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
“Exceptions to these directives are institutions and individuals on special duties such as Nurses, Doctors, Ambulance services, Hospitals, and medical workers who are allowed to operate on that day.
“We call on Christians and traditional worshipers to use this day to pray to Chukwu Okike Abiama for the fallen heroes and also pray for Biafra Independence from this murderous contraption called Nigeria
The Nigerian Army has given reasons why drones deployed during the rescue operation for abducted pupils, teachers and other victims in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State were unable to effectively track the kidnappers.
Speaking during the formal handover of the rescued victims to the Oyo State Government, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division, Nigerian Army, said the operation was particularly difficult due to the challenging terrain within the forest where the victims were held.
The GOC disclosed that after the initial operation, troops continued to pursue the abductors using intelligence and advanced surveillance technology. However, the kidnappers had moved deeper into the dense forest, making it increasingly difficult to locate them.
According to him, the military deployed drones and other technological assets to support the search, but the thick forest canopy significantly reduced the effectiveness of aerial surveillance.
He explained that the dense vegetation concealed the kidnappers beneath the trees, preventing drones from detecting their exact location.
Despite the setback, the GOC said troops maintained sustained pressure on the abductors through coordinated intelligence-driven operations, which eventually forced a breakthrough that led to the successful rescue of the victims.
He reiterated the Nigerian Army’s commitment to working with other security agencies to combat kidnapping and restore safety across Oyo State and the country.
