Biafra Day celebration: Igbos should ignore IPOB, MASSOB sit-at-home order – Anglican bishop

The Archbishop of the Enugu Province, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, on Monday advised people of the South East to ignore the sit-at-home order by pro-Biafra groups.

Recall the both the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, had directed all Igbo to stay indoors on May 30 in commemoration of Biafra Day.

But speaking during Democracy Day celebration and second year anniversary of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in Enugu, Chukwuma said the clergy are not in support of the sit-at-home declared.

According to the Clergyman, “Before I offer the opening prayer, let me first of all state the position of the clergy on the sit-at- home declaration by IPOB and MASSOB.

“We are not in support of the call. We advise all to ignore it and go about their legitimate businesses.”
