The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday criticised gunmen who have been enforcing the sit-at-home order in the South eastern part of the country.
Recall that a Finland-based follower of Kanu, Simon Ekpa, recently declared a five-day sit-at-home across the region as a sign of protest against Nigeria.
His foot soldier, who are suspected to be members of IPOB, have gone ahead to enforce the order despite several assurances by South East governors and different security agents that the enforcement of such order won’t live to see the light of the day.
NIGERIACRIME reported that a lot of residents in the region, including a pregnant woman, lost their lives to the enforcers of the order, who went ahead to cause havoc across Igboland.
These gunmen, overtime, set buildings, cars and humans ablaze as a sign of protest.

However, the special counsel for Kanu and IPOB, Aloy Ejimakor, who visited Kanu in his DSS detention on Monday, the IPOB leader expressed his sadness over the attacks and expressed his sympathy for the victims.
According to Ejimakor, “I had a visitation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today (Monday).
“With profound sadness, he received news of the staggered attacks of the past few days across the South-East, including the one at my hometown.
“He asked me to strongly condemn the attacks on his behalf and convey his comfort to all the victims.”
Ejimakor’s hometown, Urualla, in the Ideato North L0cal Government Area of Imo State, was one of the areas torched by the suspects as the community market, Afor Urualla, was razed down.
