EndSARS: Nnamdi Kanu hijacked protest, killed security agents, others – Malami alleges

The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, on Friday alleged that embattled IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu hijacked the EndSARS protest.

Malami disclosed that Kanu took advantage of the EndSARS protest last year to create mayhem that led to the death of security agents, burnt police stations, correctional centers, INEC offices, malls among others

He made this known while addressing a press conference in his office. According to him: “As you are aware, Nnamdi Kanu, the self-acclaimed leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been at the center of a subversive campaign against the Nigerian State.

“Despite the proscription of IPOB by the Federal Government, Nnamdi Kanu continued the subversive campaign, instigating and inciting broadcasts to direct members of the IPOB 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.”
