The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it would put the entire Southeast and South-south geopolitical zone on a lockdown next Friday when it would observe a day strike in memory of those killed during the military operation; Operation Python Dance 2.
The Media and Publicity Secretary of the group, Emma Powerful, in a statement on Wednesday said the group has also set up a monitoring unit that would ensure full compliance.
It said threats by Police Commissioners in Anambra, Imo and Enugu States would not deter it as it is poised to make a policy statement with the action.
It said: "The order from IPOB remains that every Biafran, both home and abroad, is expected to stay indoors, away from work, market and roads, from dusk on Thursday September 13 till dawn on Friday September 14, 2018.
"We wish to reaffirm our resolve and determination to ensure a total lockdown of the whole of Biafraland (South East/South South) contrary to the childish and laughable utterances and threats from poorly educated Fulani police commissioners in Imo, Anambra and Enugu States.
"A special compliance unit has been set up by IPOB High Command to monitor and take record of traitors and saboteurs who may have been recruited by the government to undermine the sanctity of the occasion. Any person or persons found outside on September 14, 2018, will be recorded as an enemy of Biafra and dealt with accordingly.
"Such person or persons along with their families will face the eternal wrath and consequences of their actions. This IPOB generation will not forgive any act of treachery capable of derailing our march to freedom," the release read.
It stated that there was need to resist the military operation code named; Operation Python Dance and also displaying so by adhering to the one day strike as such action if not rejected may become a permanent feature that will place the South-east under Jihadi military occupation every year.
It added that, "By observing the sit-at-home tomorrow, we the people of Biafra would be conveying an unequivocal message to the international community that we are determined to live as free men in Biafra, away from bondage that Nigeria has become.
"14th of September 2018 will send the clearest message to our detractors that we as a people will no longer allow ourselves to be held hostage to Fulani military terrorism."
