Sit-At-Home: Live Update Of ‘Biafra Remembrance Day’

Biafra Remembrance Day, a day set aside by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other pro-Biafra activists to sit-at-home in honour their fallen heroes, has commenced.

Naija News had reported earlier that IPOB declared May 30 as sit-at-home day throughout the Southeast referred to as “Biafraland” by pro-Biafra activists and Nigeria in remembrance of its fallen heroes and heroines.

Ahead of the sit-at-home today, Nnamdi Kanu addressed Biafrans where he reminded them that today is a “day of serious thinking and reasoning.”

The IPOB leader said: “Today is a day of serious thinking and reasoning on the part of our people and the day the entire Biafraland is locked down, markets are not opened, no schools, no offices are opened, no banks, nothing.

“Everywhere is at a complete standstill and total, shut down,” Kanu said in his 6 am broadcast which was monitored by Naija News.

While Biafrans in Nigeria in Nigeria will observe a “sit-at-home”, others around the world are expected to hold rallies.
