Biafra: Suspected bandits issue a sit-at-home order to Aba residents

Suspected bandits have issued a warning to residents of Aba, Abia state, over the weekly sit-at-home edict.

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have discontinued the sit-in protest, which is no longer being observed in Aba.

In a popular video, the organization accused city residents of failing to observe the sit-at-home edict, which is in effect every Monday.

“On Monday, the coming week, the angels of Chukwu okike will be passing in Aba. They said they have been receiving tons of messages coming from the good people of Aba that Aba does not observe the sit at home. How can the great mighty fall? How can the great Iroko fall? How can the Enyimba fall? In the whole of Igbo land, when the people of Aba come out, the whole of Igbo land will shake.

“But today, the people of Aba are turning to become like women. It looks like there are no men in Aba anymore. But starting from Monday, there will be evangelism outreach in Aba. And when this evangelism is going on, there are people that will give their lives to Christ as a burnt offering and there are people who will be delivered from their demonic spirits. And there are people who will receive miracles and there are people who will be made to see signs and wonders.”

Asked if the warning was issued by the IPOB, the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, explained that the IPOB can’t threaten Aba because the city is the heartbeat of the struggle for an independent state of Biafra.

He said; “ESN or IPOB members, IPOB cannot threaten Aba because Aba is the heartbeat of the struggle for Biafra. IPOB cannot threaten Aba because of the sit-at-home order.”
