The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, says it has cancelled its sit at home order across the South East.
The group in a video making the rounds on social media said the cancellation comes following a directive by its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
According to IPOB, Kanu instructed the leadership to suspend the action in the interest of peace and the return of normal economic activities in the region.
The group said the move is aimed at easing hardship on residents and allowing businesses, schools and other daily activities to run without disruption.
IPOB urged people in the South East to go about their lawful activities. It also reaffirmed its commitment to non-violence and peaceful engagement.
