The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked South East governors and security operatives to penalise purported enforcers of the suspended sit-at-home order in the region, distancing itself from the shootings in Enugu State that disrupted economic activities and resulted in the burning of cars. IPOB has suspended the exercise since September last year, but some unscrupulous elements and criminals have continued to inflict pain on Ndigbo. IPOB stressed the need for the people to stand firm and fight for their liberty, and urged Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to deal decisively with any hoodlum using the sit-at-home order to torture innocent citizens and residents of the state. It also warned that those shooting sporadically in the market and parts of Enugu State are criminals and bandits using IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and ESN to humiliate and demonise the movement.
