The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced September 14th as another sit-at-home exercise in the entire South East.
This was announced in a statement issued by the group’s Head, Directorate of Service, Mazi Chika Edoziem.
IPOB said the exercise was to commemorate the killing of some of its members by the Nigerian Army on September 14th, 2018.
“We recall very vividly the carnage of September 12, 2018, by the Nigerian Army which through its ‘Operation Python Dance II’ without any provocation and without any reason whatsoever invaded and occupied Biafraland humiliating, maiming and massacring our people.

“It is still fresh in our minds when on the 14th of September, these murderers and terrorists in army uniform went further to desecrate the traditional stool of the Afaraukwu Kingdom in Umuahia shooting and killing everything in sight resulting in the cold-blooded murder of more than 38 Biafran youths and arrest of an unspecified number of Biafran men and women.
“Recall that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide has since 2018 set aside September 14 of every year as a day of civil disobedience in the whole of Biafraland. “In accordance with the well-established custom, September 14, 2021, is declared a sit-at-home in Biafraland,” the statement read.
