The Indigenous People of Biafra has declared May 30 as the day all
supporters of Biafra will sit at home without going anywhere or doing
any work.
The group said May 3oth will be remarkable as a the day to honour
the Igbo who had lost their lives in sectarian killings in the country
from 1945 to date.
It enjoined the Igbo and all those who believe in the Biafra ideology
all over the country to shut down their businesses and stay at home.
In a press statement from the group’s Spokesperson, Emma Powerful,
made available to our correspondent in Awka, Anambra State, IPOB said
prayers would be held at designated places to mark the day.
Their statement read in part “The indigenous people of Biafra and
its leadership worldwide would like to use this opportunity to inform
Biafrans, friends of Biafra, lovers of freedom all over the world and
humanity in general, to prepare for the historic annual Biafra Day of
Remembrance 2017.
“On the 30th of May 2017, as it is now the tradition since our
leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu held the inaugural event at our Cenotaph in
Enugu on 30 May 2014, we shall honour the gallant and brave Biafran
soldiers that withstood the might of the British-sponsored coalition
against Biafra between 1967 and 1970.
“Our heroes and heroines of the class of 1967-1970 who paid the
ultimate price in defence of the dignity of the black race during this
genocidal war against the people of Biafra, will be remembered and
honoured in the finest traditions of IPOB.
“This annual event for 2017 has been designated a day of prayer, fasting, supplication and introspection.
The statement added “We shall also remember all the martyred
freedom fighters (IPOB & MASSOB) that fell in pursuit of our
liberation from the oppression and the tyranny of Nigerian Army, Police,
Navy and DSS.
“We can never forget them and we must always honour them as long
as there are Biafrans on the face of the earth. Every victim of
unwarranted state-sponsored sectarian violence in Nigeria will also be
remembered.
“All those that sacrificed their lives in the field of battle and
protests that this present generation of Biafrans might live, will be
honoured, including the victims of Asaba Massacre. They will be honoured
with a two-minute silence immediately the clock strikes 12noon on the
30th of May 2017.
The statement noted that the May 30 ceremony would be the fourth consecutive times IPOB had held the anniversary.
It added “The very first event was held in Enugu on May 30th,
2014, Aba May 30th, 2015 and 30th May 2016 at Nkpor Anambra State where
the Nigerian Army, Police, Navy and DSS committed unspeakable crimes
against humanity that brought shame to Nigeria before the comity of
civilised nations around the world.
“Therefore, we expect every man, woman and children to observe
this great annual event by staying at home and not engaging in any
business activity.
“There will be no movement in Biafraland, both human and
vehicular. Biafraland will be shut down completely as a mark of
dignified respect to those that sacrificed their lives for us.
“That is the least we can do to show them and Almighty God that
this generation of IPOB and those to come will remain forever indebted
to them that gave their lives to stop the elimination of the Biafra race
from the face of the earth.
” Equally all victims of state-sponsored genocide starting from the
Jos massacre of Biafran people in 1945 to the most recent Asaba massacre
in 2017 at IPOB meeting by the Nigerian Army will all be honoured”. it concluded.
