“People are afraid of being killed, that’s why they’ve continued to sit at home; not because they love Nnamdi Kanu – Asari Dokubo

Former militant leader, Asari Dokubo has alleged that the South-East obey the IPOB sit-at-home order not because they love Nnamdi Kanu but because they are afraid of being killed.

Asari during a live Facebook session on Sunday, said the series of sit at home orders has led a lot of young boys into fraud because “what else should we be doing?”

He accused the Biafran group of coercing people to obey their order as they shut down schools and businesses.

“IPOB said Igbo people should not go about their business; they should no go to school. So, if we Igbos no longer go about our business and go to school, what else should we be doing? That’s why all the boys are going into fraud,” he said.

“If people sit at home, it is that they are afraid of you people. It is not because you people are powerful. They don’t know you people are nothing.

“People are afraid of being killed, that’s why they’ve continued to sit at home; not because they love Nnamdi Kanu. Why is there no sit-at-home in Port Harcourt, Calabar, Uyo? It is because the government of these places are saying ‘don’t ever come here’.

“Very soon, Igbos will come out and say ‘it is okay; our old women are starving; they can’t go to the farm, markets’. At Onitsha market, people are afraid of doing businesses because they are scared of being killed.”
