The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared May 30, 2026, as a solemn day of remembrance for millions of people who lost their lives during the Nigerian civil war, describing the occasion as a period of reflection, mourning and honour for fallen Biafran heroes and heroines.
In a statement issued on Friday by IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, the group said the annual Biafra Heroes Remembrance Day remained “a sacred covenant between the living and the dead,” insisting that the memories of those who died during the conflict could not be erased.
IPOB said the day was not for celebration but for sober reflection on the sacrifices made by men, women and children during the Biafran struggle.
