Nigerian Military’s Claim Of Ending Sit-At-Home Disputed By IPoB: The Truth Behind The Monday Protests....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In response to the Nigerian Military’s assertion that they quelled the Monday sit-at-home directives in the southeast, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB) has criticized this claim as absurd. According to the pro-Biafra group, the cessation of the sit-at-home was instigated by their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who directed Simon Ekpa and his associates to discontinue the exercise.

IPoB, through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, issued a statement titled “Public Should Disregard Nigerian Military’s Assertion of Stopping Monday Sit-at-Home Order in South East.” They pointed out that during the duration of the Monday sit-at-home in the South East, neither the military nor the police were present to provide security, even though pleas for help from Igbo leaders had been continuous. It was only after Mazi Kanu’s intervention and his order to Ekpa and his group to cease the sit-at-home that it came to an end.

The statement from IPoB reads, “We urge the general public to dismiss the claims made by the Nigerian military and other security agencies. The assertion that the Nigerian military halted the infamous sit-at-homes is preposterous and unfounded. While the sit-at-home was initially conceived by IPoB and was a potent strategy before being misappropriated and abused by agents of the Nigerian government, its termination resulted from proactive measures taken by IPoB and our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”

IPoB also highlighted that it had disseminated information through flyers, posters, and banners indicating the conclusion of the sit-at-home. They emphasized that the sit-at-home was discontinued by IPoB after its successful initial implementation and the voluntary compliance of the people, well before government agents claimed involvement and misused it for illicit activities.

The statement further questioned the whereabouts of the Nigerian military and police when individuals in the South East were subjected to harassment, intimidation, and violence by hooligans enforcing the canceled Monday sit-at-home. The military and police were accused of remaining in their barracks on Mondays while the sit-at-home was enforced, only becoming involved after Mazi Kanu’s directive to halt it in Igbo land.

IPoB insisted that the Nigerian military’s claims of ending the sit-at-home were baseless, emphasizing that the decision to conclude the Monday sit-at-home rested with IPoB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. According to them, the military lacked the capacity to halt the Monday sit-at-home in Biafraland.

In summary, IPoB rejected the Nigerian military’s assertion that they put an end to the Monday sit-at-home in the South East, emphasizing that the decision to cease the exercise was made by IPoB and their leader, Nnamdi Kanu. They challenged the military’s credibility in this matter, stating that the military had not played a significant role in ending the sit-at-home.

“On January 2, 2026, the Ogun State Police Command invited Adetoun Onajobi to respond to allegations of online harassment of the Governor. Instead of attending, she sent a letter through her lawyer claiming medical incapacity and attached a doctor’s report detailing supposed health issues,” the statement read.

Investigations later revealed that the medical report was fabricated, leading to the arrest of the doctor, who admitted the document was created at Onajobi’s direction. The doctor has since been arraigned on charges including conspiracy, forgery, and obstructing justice.

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has questioned the importance of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) third-place match, despite Nigeria defeating Egypt on penalties to secure bronze at the 2025 tournament in Morocco.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Nigeria claimed third place after a 4-2 shootout victory over Egypt, but Iwobi argued that the fixture holds limited significance, especially so soon after the disappointment of their semi-final exit.

The Fulham midfielder was a key figure throughout the tournament, starting every match except Nigeria’s group-stage game against Uganda. He contributed two assists in six appearances and was central to much of the team’s attacking play. In Saturday’s third-place playoff, Iwobi came off the bench in the final 25 minutes and calmly converted the decisive penalty to clinch victory.

Reflecting on the game, he admitted the mental strain on the squad following their semi-final loss to hosts Morocco.

“We were surrounded by doubts after not making it to the World Cup,” Iwobi told beIN SPORTS.
“We wanted to win gold but ended up finishing third. The match was mentally tough because it’s hard for any player to forget the pain of losing in the semi-finals. I also don’t agree with having a third-place match, but in the end, we managed to win it.”

Iwobi also praised the quality of the Egyptian team, highlighting Premier League stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, both of whom had their penalties saved by Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.

“The Egyptian team played well, and we studied videos to prepare. Morocco is a beautiful country with great stadiums and hotels. I enjoyed the welcome and visiting Marrakech; everything was impressive,” he added.

Nigeria’s bronze finish rounded off a strong campaign, though the team fell short of its ultimate goal. Forward Ademola Lookman echoed Iwobi’s sentiments, noting that the squad came to Morocco with one clear objective: gold.

“Everyone wanted the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen,” Lookman said.
“We leave the tournament with bronze, and that is enough.”

Lookman was Nigeria’s most productive player at AFCON 2025, scoring three goals and providing four assists, the tournament’s highest combined total, putting him in contention for a spot in the official Team of the Tournament.

Prior to their semi-final loss to Morocco, Nigeria had been the only unbeaten team in the competition, winning all five of their matches. The dramatic penalty shootout defeat ended their flawless run and denied the three-time African champions a spot in the final.

“Destiny went to rest. After his child’s naming ceremony, about four days later, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who traditionally initiated him. The sickness caught up with him there, causing him to collapse. We immediately took him to the hospital. Oba Edu kept supporting us, sending money even as he was transferred to other hospitals. When we realized the sickness was persistent, we decided on traditional care, and Oba Edu guided us personally,” she said.
