Self-proclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) Simon Ekpa on Monday cautioned oil-producing companies in the South-East that the sit-at-home order has not been called off.
Ekpa made this known in a video shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
According to Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), oil producing companies in the Eastern part of the country are expected to shut down production until 18th August, 2023, adding that disregard to the sit at home order will attract penalties.
In his words, “This particular message goes to the oil-producing companies operating within Biafra territory, from Shell down to the lowest. Our attention has been drawn to the fact that the expelled criminals in the Biafra movement are still collecting letters and this letter is being circulated to oil companies in Biafra land that there is nothing like sit-at-home.
“I want to put it as a warning to every oil-producing company, in Biafra territory, the only government that is operational, functional and that is legit and to which Biafra people are loyal is the Biafra Government in Exile of which I am the prime minister.
“We have not called off any sit-at-home, we have not cancelled the sit-at-home. We have not got our freedom. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not been released, the demands in the letter we wrote to you people have not been met. So if anybody comes to you to tell you that the sit-at-home has been cancelled and you start operation, I swear with the spirit of those that died in the 60’s that from that day, you will not be able to produce any oil or explore any oil in Biafra.” He said.
