The leader of the Autopiloters faction of Ipob, Simon Ekpa, had previously declared that there will be sit at home protests on the 16th, 17th and 18th of May. Now Mr Ekpa has taken to Twitter to condemn the DOS for the enforcement of today's protest.

IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never enforce sit at home using rag gunmen. The picture you see circulating on social media are from the expelled criminals trying to sabotage MNK. Today, they were no sit at home anywhere in Biafraland. Sit at home is 16th, 17th & 18th May 2022.

Ekpa Tells Igbos to go out with their normal activities.
