Legal practitioner, Ebun-olu Adegboruwa, has warned the Nigeria Police Force against stopping the May 30 protest by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Biafran Independence Movement (BIM) and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).

This is contained in a statement he made available to DAILY POST Saturday morning.


Adegboruwa said after he read the statement by police spokesperson that the sit-at-home protest to celebrate the state of Biafra was illegal, he was glad that the police could not cite any law to back up its statement.

He said: “Under and by virtue of section 39 of the 1999 Constitution, every citizen has the freedom of expression. Sit at home, is a form of peaceful disobedience, recognized worldwide and employed as peaceful protest. It is meant to express dissatisfaction, in a peaceful manner.

“Under and by virtue of section 38 of the self same Constitution, every citizen has the freedom of movement, which includes freedom not to move. As government and the police cannot restrain movement, they cannot also compel movement. A citizen of Nigeria has absolute right to decide to move or not to move and this cannot amount to a crime under any law, to warrant the threat by the police.


Biafra: How Obasanjo caused Nigeria’s problems – Igbo groups

“On May 29, 2015, General Buhari and his Vice, took a solemn oath to defend the Constitution and they cannot now seek to renege on that oath, by purporting to declare the Biafra sit at home illegal.

“I’m therefore calling on the President and the Vice President, to defend the constitution, by calling the Inspector General of Police to order. Let no Nigerian be harassed, molested, intimidated, arrested or detained, merely for daring to exercise his or her constitutional rights.

“I support the Biafra sit at home and urge the leadership of IPOB to cooperate with the law enforcement agencies to ensure that it is peaceful and well coordinated. I urge all lawyers, activists and the good people of Nigeria, to join and support the Biafra sit at home and to resist the illegal attempt by the police to declare the exercise of a legal right, as illegal.

First, no one is saying any idiot shouldn't sit at home, what the law enforcement agents are saying is that no idiot has the right to force someone who wants to go about their normal daily routine to sit at home. As much as they have the right to sit at home, others not interested also have the right notes to sit at home.

Secondly, if I were to be any idiot's employer and they fail to show up for work on order of some 419 organisation (assuming no holiday was declared by the govt), I'd ensure I make things alot more easier for you by giving you an official letter to have you sit at home to eternity.

When all was nice and warm for them under the era of the ineffectual buffoon and as section of this country complained they were being marginalised, here was what an EX-MODERATOR had to say to the complainants:

Afam4eva:
Al_harem has spoken the truth. You cannot eat your cake and still want to have. PDP controls the center.So, states that will benefit from the center are PDP states. They should go and meet oga Tinubu if they feel marginalized.

Not a single idiot remembered there was any such thing as Biafla, today, the tables have turned and they cant even stomach their own pill for two years!

Thank u sir, will d police forcefully drag me out of my house? they should respect the law and respect themselves.

bro you need deliverance

much ado for a nairaland adult

after the Hausa vs Yoruba clash at ife,only yorubas were arrested including an oba,they're still unjustly detained till today plus many other problems affecting the yorubas but you hardly see them agitate or discuss their problems rather they would be moving from one igbo thread to another spewing hatred over what is not their concern. a famous sage said that "an unexamined life is not worth living"

Let's stop wasting our time here... The truth is that, with or without police, they're sitting at home.

There is no big deal in it.

You have to come down to the east to understand what the biafran movement is all about and how deep it has gotten. Don't be deceived by the media. For the police and government to feel scared is understandable because the biafran course is gathering momentum both local and international

Why should you shot your armless citizens?
Just imagine your reasoning... Just because they are not your ethnic group or ally to it..
This is why Biafra wants to go because of your wickedness... Hatred... Lawless country...
Do developed countries shot at their citizens no matter the nature of the protest?

You people are mentally handicapped...

Nice one from the lawyer.

Some stupid idiots are free to cry for unity.

Shamless bastards.

YOU SHOULD, AS WELL, NOT FORCE ANYBODY GOING ABOUT HIS RIGHTFUL BUSINESS. WE HAVE EQUAL RIGHT. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WILL COME AFTER YOU FOR HARASSING ANYBODY WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE IN YOU CAUSE.

PLEASE RRAD HIS SUBMISSION AGAIN AND YOUR RESPONSE TO KNOW WHO REALLY NEEDS DELIVERANCE. YOU CAN STAY AT HOME BUT DON'T FORCE OTHERS TO DO SO. BY SO DOING, YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. BUT ON THE CONTRAST, YOU WILL FACE THE FULL WROUGHT OF THE LAW.

what's this one saying?

I am proudly Igbo, I support Biafra movement whole heartedly and on 30th May, 2017, I'll sit at home in honour of our past heroes.

Whoever that is not happy should come down to East and drag me out.
Shameless unity beggars!

Lol, nobody is forcing anyone out, we all agree to sit at home in our own free will, even schools down here have instructed their students and staff not to come to school on 30th May.
Anyone that comes out on 30th May in the East will meet empty business activity, watch and see.
