The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday announced a new lock down across the Southeast.

IPOB said the lock down would hold on May 30, 2025 across the Southeast.

Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB said the day was set aside to remember and honour Biafra heroes and heroines.

In a statement he signed, Powerful urged residents of the Southeast to stay indoors during the lockdown.

The statement reads partly: “The esteemed family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) informs Biafrans, supporters of Biafra, and advocates for Biafra freedom that May 30th, 2025, is now designated a public holiday and a lockdown throughout Biafra Land in honor and commemoration of Biafra heroes and heroines who made the ultimate sacrifice for our present existence.

“The public holiday and lockdown is an annual Memorial and Remembrance Day for Biafra Heroes and Heroines among Biafrans. Anticipation has begun as of May 1, 2025, with broadcasts from Radio Biafra and media awareness efforts by the IPOB media team.

“This month, IPOB will involve our audience in memorial lectures honoring Biafran heroes, both at home and abroad, just like in earlier years.

“The peak of the yearly memorial and remembrance event will occur on may 30th, 2025, known as the BIAFRA HEROES MEMORIAL DAY.

“It is a day designated by IPOB for Biafrans to commemorate and pay tribute to our heroes, heroines, and those who sacrificed their lives in the struggle for Biafra’s liberation and independence.

“The IPOB leadership has announced that May 30, 2025, will be a free day, marking a total lockdown for Biafrans residing in Biafran Land.

‘We recommend that everyone refrain from going outside and remain indoors in your homes on May 30th to steer clear of gunfire from the ethnic prejudice of the Nigerian Police and Military, who will be present on the streets of Biafra seeking any chance to unjustly shed the blood of innocent Biafrans.

“If you decide to ignore this lockdown order, whatever occurs to you, please hold no one responsible.

“IPOB prioritizes the well-being of Ndigbo and has discovered methods to prevent the Nigerian State from killing our people as we continue to remember and celebrate our heroes.

“All transporters must refrain from using the roads on Friday, May 30, 2025.”
