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The coalition of northern groups had on Thursday August 24, in Abuja withdrawn its order to all Igbos residing in the north to vacate the region before October 1, 2017.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