According to the group, the order removes any reason for residents to remain indoors on Mondays and clears the way for full economic and social activity across the region.
In the statement, IPOB said, “The IPOB, under the supreme leadership of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, hereby announces to the entire world that the Monday sit-at-home across the South-East is officially and permanently cancelled with effect from tomorrow, Monday, February 9, 2026.”
It added that the move was aimed at ensuring children return to school and people go about their lawful businesses without fear.
The group warned that any attempt to enforce sit-at-home would go against Kanu’s directive, stating that “any person or group attempting to enforce sit-at-home from this moment forward is acting against his direct command.”
The order brings to a close a policy introduced in 2021 that disrupted daily life, triggered violence and caused heavy economic losses across the South-East.
