Sit-at-Home: Read What BBC is Reporting About Biafra Heroes Day Celebration (Photos)

All private schools and businesses are expected to close today in Nigeria’s south-eastern Anambra state following a call by a secessionist movement to mark the 50th anniversary of the declaration of the breakaway state of Biafra, the local Vanguard newspaper reports.

Many people also stocked up on household goods yesterday after the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) issued a sit-at-home order to mark the day, it adds.

IPOB said military helicopters were hovering around Umuahia city in south-eastern Abia state, and truckloads of soldiers were heading towards the city, where the group’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu, lives.

He was freed a few weeks ago on bail after more than a year-and-a-half in jail without trial on treason charges.

Amnesty International has appealed to the security forces to allow peaceful protests to take place.
