The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has cancelled its sit-at-home order for the South East.

According to a video circulating on social media, the cancellation is the result of a directive from its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to IPOB, Kanu directed the leadership to halt the action in the interest of peace and the restoration of normal economic activity in the region.

The group stated that the move is intended to alleviate hardship for residents while allowing businesses, schools, and other daily activities to continue uninterrupted.

IPOB urged people in the South East to continue their lawful activities. It also reaffirmed its commitment to nonviolence and peaceful dialogue.
