This was after the controversial arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya, which many international, domestic Political and Legal professionals had described as a calculated abduction and kidnapping, even as they say it is ultra vires of International Law and acceptable procedures.
Reacting to the arrest of the IPOB Leader, members of the IPOB in the South-East, Nigeria introduced a mandatory Monday sit-at-home order as a measure to compel the Nigerian government to release the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, unconditionally.
