A Pro-Biafra coalition group in Enugu State, Sunday gave its support to the order by the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, directing the immediate end to sit-at-home actions in the South East region of Nigeria.
This has boosted the ongoing campaigns by the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah for a stop to the illegal and forced civil action, just hours to another purported two-week sit-at-home order, allegedly issued by Finland-based IPOB factional leader, Simon Ekpa.
Spokesperson of the group, a woman who claims to be a pro-Biafra activist, Rita Anigbogu at a Press conference in Enugu, strongly criticized the sit-at-home strategy adopted by the IPOB, insisting that the action is inimical to the economic and social wellbeing of Ndigbo.
Anigbogu who was flanked by other leaders of several pro-Briafra groups warned the Simon Ekpa-led faction of IPOB, to cease any further plans of sit-at-home in the South Eastern parts of Nigeria, since the reorganized leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has personally given directives stopping the action.

The pro-Biafra coalition group which disowned Simon Ekpa, is urging people of Enugu State and indeed the entire South East region, not to obey any order to sit-at-home and lockdown their businesses, shops, trades, schools, hospitals, farms, markets, and other sources of livelihood, for two weeks by someone in far away Finland.
