There have been calls from various groups in the South-East, for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the Radio Biafra director.
To further show their resolve to continue the protests till Kanu is released, the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) ordered traders in Abia state not to open their shops.
Meanwhile, members of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB) opposed the order, saying they were not informed of the plan.
Speaking to Daily Post, MASSOB’S assistant national director of information, Sunny Okereafor, said "MASSOB condemns the order closing down markets. MASSOB is not aware of such order, we totally condemn it. The markets should be open and people be allowed to go about their businesses.
“There is hardship in the land and you are talking about closing markets; is this not a way of causing more suffering to the same people we want to liberate?”
Recently, Ohaneze Ndigbo joined other Igbo groups to also call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
