The suspension of weekly sit-at-home order has led to a crisis among members of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
This is as some of the members accused the leadership of the IPOB of sabotage.
It was learnt that some aggrieved members expressed disbelief that their leader Nnamdi Kanu knew about the suspension of the order.
Contrary to an earlier statement by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, that its sit-at-home directive to the people of South East and South-South states was sacrosanct, another statement by the IPOB leader’s younger brother, Kanunta Kanu, said the planned sit-at-home order had been suspended.
Later, Ejiofor issued a statement confirming that Kanu approved the suspension of the sit-at-home.
On his part, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the counsel to the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Nnamdi Kanu alleged that the confusion among some IPOB members was caused because of the presence of some “marauder” in IPOB, who are not loyalists of Nnamdi Kanu.
He regretted the confusion among the members, saying that “In this critical moment, peace and discipline should be the ultimate guide. What we crave is your prayers only.”
The IPOB in a statement on Thursday reiterated that Kanu was aware of the sit-at-home suspension.
It also warned against attacks on the legal team, saying that Kanu was not misrepresented.
