Sit-At-Home Protest Is Dead, Buried In Southeast Nigeria; Nnamdi Kanu Has Spoken –IPOB Leader’s Lawyer, Ejiofor | Sahara Reporters
Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, a lawyer representing the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has reiterated that the sit-at-home protest is dead and buried in the South-East region of Nigeria.
Therefore, the order by Kanu announcing its total cancelation is final.
Ejiofor on Sunday said that whoever wishes to voluntarily observe any form of illegal sit-at-home should critically assess the unquantifiable damages arising therefrom.
They should rather welcome Kanu’s pronouncement canceling the order.
He also asked the people of the region to reject what he described as dangerous tendencies of criminal elements using Kanu’s name to dupe the gullible and vulnerable.
