The Nigerian Military has warned the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB who declared sit-at-home across the Southeast on May 30 to mourn their fallen fighters not to dare the armed forces of Nigeria saying “the days of sit at home are over”
Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba who said this in response to the threat by the secessionist group said, “The days of IPOB sit at home are over. That statement is mere propaganda. We have decimated that group. Several of their senior commanders have been taken out. I assure you that people of the South East have nothing to worry about”

“The armed forces is building and maintaining the momentum against the terrorists and their cohorts across the country. Troops are conscious and are not losing sight of importance of momentum, when it comes to fighting such vicious adversaries.
“The current situation depict a strain of tactical achievements in degrading the terrorists by dismantling most of the terrorist infrastructure. It must be noted that, many of the terrorist commanders as well have been taken off the battlefield.
“Ongoing operations have suppressed the terrorist and prevented them from achieving their strategic objectives. Troops have equally denied the terrorist freedom of action and disrupted their actives, thereby reducing their effectiveness.
“Nevertheless, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to rid the environment of terrorist and the military is not resting on its oars.”
It would be recall that IPOB, in a press statement signed by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Thursday, directed all schools, government offices, private offices, banks, transport unions, market unions and private individuals to shut down all operations to honour Biafran fighters who died during the civil war of 1967 to 1970.
