A sit-at-home order by banned separatist group Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in Nigeria's southeast has led to the death of over 700 people in the region over the past four years. This is according to a report by an intelligence consultancy SBM .

 The IPOB, campaigning for the secession of the southeast that is predominantly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group, has been labelled a terrorist organisation by Nigerian authorities. SBM Intelligence reported that the fatalities resulted from the killing of civilians who defied the weekly stay-at-home order every Monday and on other specific days, as well as from clashes between the IPOB and Nigerian security forces.

To discuss this further Lulu Gaboo spoke to our correspondent in Nigeria Jonathan James Lyamghon.
