Kanunta called on anyone still interested in the sustenance of sit-at-home protest to call for it in their name and stop using Nnamdi Kanu’s name. 

Kingsley Kanu, popularly known as Kanunta, younger brother of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has called on the people in Southeast Nigeria to comply with the separatist leader's cancellation of sit-at-home exercises in the region. 

Kanunta called on anyone still interested in the sustenance of sit-at-home protest to call for it in their name and stop using Nnamdi Kanu’s name. 

In a tweet on Sunday, Kunu ta said, “Everyone’s worried about stopping insecurities in #Biafraland . Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

"Now #SitAtHome is cancelled by #MaziNnamdikanu, it’s time to identify the beneficiaries of these crimes in Southeast. Call for Sit At Home in your name."

SaharaReporters on Friday reported that Kanu declared an end to all sit-at-home exercises, including Monday’s sit-at-home exercise and any other proposed to force the government to release him.

Kanu made the declaration in a handwritten letter, which Ejimakor read out to journalists during a world press conference, held in Enugu State.

Kanu in the written declaration dated July 24, 2023, which Ejimakor read, followed the refusal by Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed disciple to announce the cancellation and further declaration through his media platforms.

Kanu warned Ekpa to "desist from calling for any sit-at-home henceforth" and "to make a public announcement to the effect that he (Mazi Simon Ekpa) is in receipt of a direct order from him (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) to cancel any pending sit-at-home in place at the moment".
