- IPOB slams Arewa youths for demanding for the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described the withdrawal of the quit notice issued to Igbos in the northern part of the country by the Arewa youths as inconsequential.

The coalition of northern groups had on Thursday August 24, in Abuja withdrawn its order to all Igbos residing in the north to vacate the region before October 1, 2017.

But reacting to the withdrawal of the notice, IPOB in a statement made available to NAIJ.com by its media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful on Friday, August 25, asked all southerners in the north to return home before October 1 to avoid being attacked in the region.

IPOB warned that the withdrawal of the notice does not mean that Igbo lives and property are no longer endangered in the north as history had shown.

The group said southerners were killed northern region in 1966 and 1967 after similar assurances were issued then that people should remain in the north.
