The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, disclosed that Nnamdi Kanu took advantage of the EndSARS protest last year to create mayhem that led to the death of security agents.
According to the AGF, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader seized the protests with subversive and inciting statements.
“As you are aware, Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been at the center of a subversive campaign against the Nigerian State,” Malami said at a press conference in his office.
“Despite the Federal Government’s proscription of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu continued the subversive campaign, instigating and inciting broadcasts to direct IPOB members to launch attacks on government.”
“The EndSARS protests of October 2020 played into the sinister plans of Nnamdi Kanu, whereby he seized the protests through subversive and inciting online broadcasts and actively commanded and directed attacks on security personnel and facilities.
“As a result of these broadcasts, members of IPOB attacked and killed security personnel and burnt down Police stations, Correctional centers, INEC offices, bus terminals, the Palace of Oba of Lagos, Banks, hospitals, shopping malls and vehicles, amongst others.”
