A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Joe Igbokwe, has declared that the South-East region will no longer experience widespread criminality, following the cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home order by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra.
In a post on Facebook on Sunday, Igbokwe said the region is being reclaimed from criminals, adding that education and civic responsibility would now guide the South-East’s progress.
He wrote, “All things considered, we have gradually taken back South-East. Never again will Igboland suffer this level of criminalities in the 21st century. Our education is not for fancy. It is not for nothing. It is for the good of the commonwealth. Never again.
Igbokwe also condemned those he described as “foolish adults in Onitsha and IPOB fraudsters”, who he claimed mobilised young people to chant “Soludo show me the law,” saying they had gone “into oblivion and buried their faces in shame.”
“The foolish adults in Onitsha and IPOB fraudsters who organized young people to be shouting “Soludo show me the law” have gone into oblivion and buried their faces in shame. We are our own enemies & will receive sense las las.”
This comes after the IPOB, said that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, ordered the total cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home across the South-East, with effect from February 9, 2026.
Recall that the pro-Biafran group declared the sit-at-home in August 2021 as a way of protesting the rendition of Kanu to Nigeria and his subsequent incarceration. During the exercise, markets, schools, banks and offices remained shut.
