IPOB to lockdown Biafra Lnad on 30th May 2017 in honour of fallen Heroes

Cross section of Biafrans protesting

The indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide would like to use this opportunity to inform Biafrans, friends of Biafra, lovers of freedom all over the world and humanity in general, to prepare for the historic annual Biafra Day of Remembrance 2017.

On the 30th of May 2017 as is now the tradition, since our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu held the inaugural event at our Cenotaph in Enugu on 30 May 2014, we shall honour the gallant and brave Biafran soldiers that withstood the might of the British sponsored coalition against Biafra between 1967 to 70.

Our unforgettable heroes and heroines of the class of 67-70 who paid the ultimate price in defence of the dignity of the black race during this British sponsored genocidal war against the people of Biafra, will be remembered and honoured in the finest traditions of IPOB. This annual event for 2017 has been designated a day of prayer, fasting, supplication and introspection.

This year's event as always will be held on the historically significant 30th of May 2017. We shall also remember all the matyred freedom fighters (IPOB & MASSOB) that fell in pursuit of our liberation from the oppression and tyranny of Nigerian Army, Police, Navy and DSS. We can never forget them and we must always honour them as long as there are Biafrans on the face of the earth. Every victim of unwarranted state sponsored sectarian violence in Nigeria will also be remembered.

All those that sacrificed their lives in the field of battle and protests that this present generation of Biafrans might live, will be honoured, including the victims of Asaba Massacre. They will be honoured with a two minute silence immediately the clock strikes 12 Noon on the 30th of May 2017.
