An audio message circulating on social media asking residents of the southeast to observe a one-week sit-at-home from the 3rd of July 3 to the 10th of July has been debunked by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The sit-at-home order, purported to have come from a breakaway faction of the group, with the tag #FreeNnamdiKanu, is aimed at forcing the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Emma Powerful who is the spokesperson of the IPOB, told reporters on Friday that the sit-at-home order did not emanate from the group.
