The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has told those enforcing the weekly sit-at-home in the South East that he was not in support of the move.
The leader of the proscribed group spoke through his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), in a video clip seen on Monday.
Kanu said that the enforcers of the sit-at-home cannot claim to be fighting for the people and at the same time crippling their economy.
He said through Ozekhome: ”As his lead counsel and lawyer, he has told me that he does not believe in sit-at-home.
“He cannot be fighting for his people and shutting down their economy.
“How do they feed?
“How will they train their children?

“Many a time, he cried to me in my presence that he wants to be released so that he can hold a world press conference and address the Igbo and Ala Igbo and the entire world to say: ‘Don’t stay at home on Mondays, go about your normal duties, go to work, because the Bible tells us it is upon the labour of your hands, I will bless the fruits of your labour.’
“So, I am now re-echoing again and again what Nnamdi Kanu has told me: He does not believe in that sit-at-home on Mondays, which cripples the social, economic, cultural and political life of the people, putting them under psychological, psychical and mental stricture and torture.”
