The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared a sit-at-home on May 30, 2025 to honor men and women who died during the Civil War.
The spokesperson for IPOB, Emma Powerful, said this this Monday, saying the day will include lectures in honor of the civil war heroes, both in Nigeria and abroad.
IPOB said the sit-at-home is a yearly memorial, which is a way to remember Biafra heroes and heroines.
The group also said it has informed the South East and South-South governors as well as the West African Examination Council, WAEC, so they can modify the May/June SSCE exams schedule to serve all students.
The lockdown will last from 6 am to 6 pm and only essential workers like doctors, nurses, journalists, ambulance drivers, police, firefighters, and fuel workers will be allowed to go out during the lockdown.
