The Sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, witnessed a massive turnout as thousands of Biafra supporters hit the streets in Germany, marching to a spot were Biafran heroes allegedly sought asylum during the civil war days and decided the fate of the defunct country.
