30th of May every year has been set aside by Igbos as Biafra Day; It was on that day, in 1967, that Odumegwu Ojukwu announced that Biafra had left Nigeria.
The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB placed a curfew on May 30, but because May 30 this year is a Sunday, IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu has ordered everyone in the East to stay at home today, May 31.
