According to a statement issued by its Directorate of State and signed by spokesperson C. Okadigbo, the day is set aside to honour those who lost their lives in the struggle for Biafra’s self-determination, particularly during the Nigerian Civil War.
The group said the remembrance covers sacrifices made from 1967 to 2026, describing it as a key part of its history and identity.
“On May 30th, we pause to remember and honour the men, women, and children who lost their lives fighting for Biafra’s freedom,” the statement read.
IPOB urged residents to observe the day through reflection, prayers, and symbolic remembrance activities such as lighting candles, observing moments of silence, and sharing memories within families.
It described the occasion as a solemn one, stressing that the sacrifices of what it called “fallen heroes and heroines” must not be forgotten.
“May 30th is a day of sober reflection… their sacrifice must not be forgotten or allowed to be extinguished,” the group added.
The organisation declared a 12-hour shutdown across “Biafraland” from 6am to 6pm, during which all activities are expected to cease.
It stated that there would be no vehicular movement except for emergency services, while markets, offices, schools, banks, and transport operations are expected to remain closed.
IPOB also advised parents and school administrators to keep children at home and urged residents to stay indoors and observe prayers according to their faith.
The group further claimed it had informed South-East governors and other stakeholders about the planned lockdown and would continue official notifications ahead of the date.
Reiterating its message, IPOB said: “We remember them! We honour them! We MUST not forget their sacrifice.”
The announcement is expected to generate heightened security concerns and public debate across the South-East as the date approaches.
