Sit-At-Home Ban: Stop Chasing Shadows, your Aggressive Approach Is Escalating Tensions – IPOB Slams Gov. Mbah
From lateef Taiwo
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has advised Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to cease the militarization of the region aimed at ending the sit-at-home order.
The pro-Biafra group criticized the governor’s aggressive approach, which they argue is escalating tensions and causing unnecessary harm.
IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, issued a press release on Thursday stating,“The utilization of security forces to harass, intimidate, and humiliate our people in Enugu State is unacceptable.”
He accused Mbah of chasing shadows instead of focusing on good governance, alleging that his tactics have led to the deaths of over five innocent people within a month as governor.
IPOB contrasted Mbah’s approach with that of his predecessor, Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who they claim managed the situation strategically without escalating tensions.
“Governor Peter Mbah should know that those advising him to use excessive force to stop the sit-at-home are setting him up against the people,” Emma Powerful noted.
The group also suggested that while they have suspended the sit-at-home order in solidarity with their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the governor’s use of force is compelling residents to voluntarily observe the order.
“Most Biafrans are not observing Monday sit-at-home because of Simon Ekpa. Biafran’s solidarity is with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” Emma Powerful affirmed.
The IPOB spokesperson further advised Mbah to learn from other states and stop ‘suffering’ the people of Enugu State.
He urged the governor to focus on other pressing governance challenges and allow the sit-at-home order to ‘die’ a natural death.
Comrade Emma Powerful issued a warning against the revival of the defunct Monday sit-at-home order.
He accused Nigeria’s security agencies of enforcing this non-existent order with the intention of dismantling IPOB.
He cautioned, “Some people will be afraid to go about their normal business with the military siege of the State going by the antecedents of the military who have a penchant for abductions, humiliation, and murder of innocent Biafran civilians.”
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
