The people of Imo state were ordered by Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to remains at home especially schools, hospital and shops. The IPOB has a single requirement for Nigeria, they criticized the Nigerian Government.
State is that Nigerian Government are poor in investment, they criticized political alienation, the problems of inequitable resource distribution, complaining of ethnic marginalization, constant heavy military presence, uncontrolled extra-judicial killings in the South-Eastern, South-Central and parts of North-Central regions of the country. But in real sense their agitations is true.
