The self-proclaimed Biafra Prime Minister and freedom advocate has once again issued a two-week sit-at-home directive in the South East region.
Simon, who previously ordered a sit-at-home last week, has outlined five reasons why the people of the South East should comply with the recent order.
He emphasized that the immediate and unconditional release of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is of utmost importance, and the sit-at-home is intended to facilitate the quest for Biafra’s freedom.
His statement read as follows: “In response to the Biafran people’s demand for increased civil disobedience through sit-at-home actions, the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile (BRGIE) and Biafra De Facto Government In Homeland would like to inform Biafrans that there will be sit-at-home civil disobedience from July 31, 2023, to August 14, 2023.
“The immediate and unconditional release of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently being unlawfully detained in the DSS custody, is a non-negotiable demand.
