‘Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu goes to court tomorrow 10th of November and our people should stay indoors while others move to Abuja in solidarity with our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and we are expecting Nigeria government and DSS to release him unconditionally because he committed no crime to seek his people’s freedom from Nigeria.
‘We hope people will comply to this order and obey our resolve to support our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB must allow our people like doctors, hospitals, nurses, ambulance,s and journalists to operate during the sit-at-home because we don’t want pregnant women, sick people to have issues or complications because of their health.
‘Doctors must come to the hospitals but you must identify yourself and journalists must be allowed to operate and report what is going on in the whole of Biafraland.’ Powerful stated.
