IPOB dares Soludo, declares Monday, Feb 2 sit-at-home

‎The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared Monday, February 2 as lockdown in all the five states of South-East in solidarity with Onitsha traders.

‎This is in an apparent move to counter the order by Governor Chukwuma Soludo for traders to return to their trading activities in Anambra State on Mondays

‎The declaration is contained in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.

‎The pro-Biafra group said the sit-at-home is peaceful.

‎It noted that the February 2, 2026 sit-at-home is also is a direct, peaceful, and unified response to the tyrannical actions of Governor Soludo.

‎“The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. under the leadership of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, hereby declares a Biafra-wide solidarity strike, a complete lockdown of all economic activities across Igboland and wider Biafran territories, on Monday, February 2, 2026.

‎

‎“This total shutdown across Biafraland is a direct, peaceful, and unified response to the tyrannical actions of Anambra State Governor,Charles Soludo, who has shut down the Onitsha Main Market for one week and threatened further month-long closures, revocation of land ownership, demolition, and punitive repurposing if traders continue their legitimate observance of Monday sit-at-home in solidarity with our unjustly imprisoned leader,” the statement read in part.
