IPOB declares another sit-at-home on September 14

Separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has declared another sit-at-home for Tuesday September 14, 2021.

IPOB’s Director of State (DOS) said the sit-at-home directive was to remember those killed in Afaraukwu, Abia State in 2017 by Nigerian military during Operation Python Dance.

IPOB said Nigerian soldiers had in 2017 desecrated the traditional stool of Afaraukwu.
