The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday celebrated the success of the observance of 30th May 2026, saying it was a sacred day set aside to honour and remember Biafran fallen heroes and heroines.
“Today was not merely a sit-at-home. It was a solemn act of remembrance. It was a collective tribute by a grateful people to millions of innocent men, women, and children who perished during the genocidal war waged against Biafra. It was a day when Biafrans everywhere paused to reflect on the pain, courage, resilience, and sacrifices of those who gave everything so that future generations would never forget who they are, the group said in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.
IPOB expressed “appreciation to Biafrans, friends of Biafra, lovers of freedom, and all advocates of justice who have consistently honoured this annual remembrance through the years. Your commitment demonstrates that the memories of our departed heroes and heroines remain alive in the hearts of our people despite every attempt to erase or distort our history. “
The statement added: “We offer special gratitude to the people of Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Benue, Kogi, Edo, and every community across Biafraland that participated peacefully in memorial activities and commemorative gatherings. Your unity and discipline have once again shown the world that Biafrans remain a people bound together by history, sacrifice, and a common destiny.”

The group noted that through Nnamdi Kanu’s leadership, “Biafrans have been able to reclaim their history and preserve the memories of those who paid the ultimate price during one of the darkest chapters of our collective existence.
“The truth about the Biafra war can never be permanently buried beneath propaganda, distortion, or political convenience. Every year, as we gather to remember our dead, we reaffirm our commitment to historical truth and to ensuring that the sacrifices of our heroes and heroines are neither forgotten nor diminished. Their blood cries out through history, reminding us of the price that was paid and the responsibility that now rests upon the living.”
The group recalled that the occasion was also marked in over 100 countries around the world, “including India, United States, Japan, China, Germany, Spain, France, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Denmark, Indonesia, Canada, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, nations across Africa, and countless other countries.”
