But yesterday, a chieftain of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Ben Okoko said that the September 23, 2016 sit-at-home protest being proposed by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has a legal backing under the freedom of expression and right to peaceful assembly and association, as enshrined in Section 39 and 40 of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria.
He, however, noted that IPOB and its proposed protest is not covered under the law if they resort to use of force to compel the masses to join in the protest or observe the sit-at-home order, against their wish.
