IPOB had declared a May 30 sit-at-home across the South-East region of the country.
The group warned that there would be no business activities and no movements to honour Igbo people killed during the civil war of 1967-1970.
The sit-at-home order was rejected by the government.
However, the Nigerian Army has yet to speak on the latest incident as of press time.
