A coalition of pro-Biafra groups has cancelled the South East sit-at-home protest during the planned nationwide protests against hunger and bad governance, citing concerns about potential violence from security agencies.

The groups are the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Eastern Peoples Congress (EPC), Billie Human Rights Initiative (BHRI), Biafra Liberation Council (BLC), Biafra Revolutionary Force (BRF), Biafra Revolutionary Organisation (BRO), Biafra Reconciliation (BR) and Union of Biafra Scientists and Engineers (UBSE), said they do not want to give security agencies an excuse to harm protesters.

They also condemned a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, which they described as an attempt to blame Peter Obi and the Igbo people for the protest.
