The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has suspended the sit-at-home order declared to be observed every Monday in all southeast states.
The order began on August 9 and grounded economic activities in the affected states.
IPOB Directorate of States, Chika Edoziem, announced the new order in a broadcast on Friday night.
He said the sit-at-home would henceforth be observed on days Mazi Kanu would appear in court.
“I wish to announce that as directed by the highest command of this noble movement, our Monday ghost town or sit-at-home in Biafra land stands suspended for now.
“The weekly sit-at-home stands suspended, which means in the coming Mondays, there will be no ghost town in Biafraland.
“Our sit-at-home will be on each court date when our leader, Onye Ndu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, will be appearing in court,” he said.
The sir-at-home order was to compel the federal government to release IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu from the custody of the Directorate of State Service (DSS) unconditionally.
Kanu is being tried for jumping bail and running a proscribed group.
