The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, on Friday narrated how the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, hijacked the EndSARS protest to carry out nefarious activities.
Malami disclosed that Kanu took advantage of the EndSARS protest last year to create mayhem that led to the death of security agents.
The AGF alleged the Indigenous People of Biafra leader, IPOB, seized the protests through subversive and inciting statements.
Addressing a press conference in his office, Malami said: “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.’
Malami vowed that the Federal Government of Nigeria would continue to do whatever is within her power to protect the territorial integrity of the country.
