IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, warned that school principals who mobilize their students for the October 1st celebration would have themselves to blame.
He stressed that Biafra’s independence would soon be achieved and would be celebrated across the Southeast. “Every Biafran is expected to stay at home and refresh him or herself or go about their daily business on October 1st, 2023. No Nigeria flags are allowed to fly in Biafra territory. If you want to go to the market or business on October 1st, you are free to go without molestation as long as it has nothing to do with the Nigeria Independence celebration.
