Spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful, who denied the order, in a statement, added that those who instituted it can never be working for IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
“The purported one week sit-at-home jingle on social media is not from IPOB. We are not in the business of issuing irresponsible and non-existent sit-at-home orders.
“IPOB is a responsible movement and family. Our aims and objectives are to give peace and freedom to our people not to inflict more pain on the pains Nigeria has already inflicted on us.
“How can keeping our people indoors for one week at this harsh economic times in Nigeria liberate our leader or Biafrans from the shackle of this contraption? Our people should start reasoning.
“As IPOB joins the call for our people who are under threat in Lagos to bring their investments home, some Federal Government agents are trying to make Alaigbo unattractive for our people to return.
“Our Leader, Kanu, can’t indulge in anything that will increase our people’s suffering. Our people should ignore the useless one week sit-at-home order from agents claiming to be fighting for Biafra freedom.
“Some of the foot soldiers of these Nigerian agents in diaspora don’t realise that they were being used by enemies of Biafra to suffer Biafrans in order to make Biafra agitation championed by Kanu’s IPOB unattractive. But their agenda is dead on arrival.
“We are not in the business to suffer Biafrans at this harsh economic time in Nigeria. Should IPOB decide to call for sit-at-home, we will communicate it publicly to Biafrans, and it will not exceed one day.
“Biafrans will comply with such an order, not the one coming from criminals enforcing sit-at-home by killing our people. If any fool is caught forcing our people to sit-at-home, he should be treated as a criminal that he is.
“Therefore, the public should ignore any rumour about a one week sit-at-home in Biafra land. Those behind these devilish orders are not IPOB members, and they are not working for Kanu,” Powerful said in the statement.
