The Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) sit-at-home edict began on Monday, causing tension and panic across the Southeast.
The sit-at-home order was issued by IPOB to press for the release of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Following his detention and repatriation from an African country assumed to be Kenya, Kanu is reportedly cooling his heels in the custody of the Department of State Services, or DSS.
The IPOB leader was arrested after he called for the dissolution of Nigeria and the restoration of Biafra.
His detention and deportation to Nigeria has sparked heated debate among his supporters, who think he was kidnapped and subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya.
Despite Nnamdi Kanu‘s continuing imprisonment, IPOB has threatened to shut down Southeast every Monday till he is released.
