The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN) has said that the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu gave instigating directives that led to the killing of security agents and destruction of properties by #EndSARS protesters and IPOB members across the country.

Malami, on Friday, in Abuja stated that a presidential panel indicted Nnamdi Kanu for instigating subversive campaigns against the Nigerian state.

Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is currently being prosecuted at the Federal High Court, Abuja by the Federal Government for alleged treason and terrorism.

Malami, while briefing newsmen said, that the eventual re-arrest of Kanu in June, and some members of his group led to the inauguration of a Presidential Ad-hoc Committee, comprising 24 members from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), the Ministry of Information among other ministries.

He said that the committee, after investigations, released its report titled: “Investigation report on acts of terrorism and allied offences perpetrated by Nnamdi Kanu, and report on the sponsors and financiers of Sunday Igboho and associates.”

According to him, the committee, headed by him, made a number of findings including that Kanu instigated wild spread violence in different parts of the country.

“The committee finds as a fact, that consequent upon the instigating directives of Nnamdi Kanu, members of IPOB/ESN carried out massive attacks on democratic institutions especially INEC facilities with a view to hampering democratic process in Nigeria.

“That acting on the instigating directives of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB members and #EndSARS protesters attacked and killed many security agents, destroyed several public and private properties, including Police stations, public transport buses, and other facilities across the country.

“That on 21 October, 2020, Nnamdi Kanu through an online call-in radio programme (Radio Biafra), further instigated IPOB members to burn down all police stations and kill government security forces.

“This directive was carried out and several security personnel (especially Police Officers) were killed and public and private properties destroyed,” Malami said.
