The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it would still hold a worldwide protest on September 23 against the incarceration of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the group said it would not back down, while urging Igbo’s to observe the protest.

“As we make our positive statement on Friday, about how we feel in this false union and false marriage of incompatible bed fellows, between 7am and 4pm, by sitting at home, it becomes necessary to remind ourselves why it is important to save and protect the future of our unborn progeny.”

The group had said there would be no movement on Friday throughout the Southeast geopolitical zone.
