The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Saturday, told his supporters not to enforce a sit-at-home order on October 4.
A Federal High Court sitting in Umuahia is expected to deliver a ruling on jurisdictional issues raised suo motu by the court in a fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by Kanu against the Federal Government.
However, Kanu in a statement through IPOB’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said the clarification became compelling and necessary in view of the avalanche of misleading information on social media, and a plethora of calls he had received from concerned supporters to this effect.
Ejiofor who advised members of the public to go about their normal business activities on the said date, gave assurance to inform supporters any time Kanu was scheduled to appear in court.
