The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared sit-at-home on January 18, 2022 to support its leader Nnamdi Kanu as the Umuahia High Court hears Kanu's fundamental human rights enforcement suit against the Federal Government. Biafrans should go about their businesses without molestation on January 19 and 20, 2022. The sit-at-home order in the five states of the South East region was observed from Monday, January 17 through Thursday, January 20, despite the group's statement that it would only take place on January 18 before Kanu's court appearance. The Guardian observed unusual human traffic in markets and shops, with some buyers confused by the violent enforcers who were bent on destroying property and killing people on Mondays.
