Edoziem further stated that the lockdown will commence only on Mondays till Kanu is released, pointing out that the measure is aimed at ensuring that Kanu is release hale and hearty.
“The Directorate of the Indigenous People of Biafra ,demand herewith an unconditional release of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on or before the 8th of August ,2021, failing which we shall commence a weekly lockdown of Biafra land starting on Monday 9th of August .
” For the avoidance of doubt, the total lockdown of Biafra land will take place every Monday until our leader is released unconditionally .
“This weekly lockdown is simply one of the measures we shall put in place to ensure our leader is released hale and hearty. It is completely unacceptable to IPOB to allow our leader remain in the hands of the enemy up to October, 2021.” Edoziem warned.
