the Federation, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim has denied
sponsoring the ongoing pro-Biafra protests, saying any
assertion to the contrary is the handiwork of detractors.
Anyim, a former Senate President who spoke through his
Media Adviser, Sam Nwaobasi Thursday, added that he is
neither under house arrest nor any form of investigation.
“We find it despicable that some people have taken it

and indeed incite the public against Sen. Anyim Pius
Anyim, since he left office as Secretary to the Government
of the Federation, through publication of bare-faced lies,
fabrication of baseless stories and peddling of rumours
on phantom issues that make no meaning or sense.
“We have resisted the temptation to join issues with these
gangs of debased characters. However, there is a limit to
what can be ignored”, Nwaobasi said.
According to him, “Sen. Anyim is not sponsoring, has not
sponsored and will never sponsor any protest by any
group against the Government or our dear country
Nigeria”.
He added that Sen. Anyim is not under any investigation
for any such allegation, warning those behind what he
described as dastardly and mischievous acts to stop
forthwith.
“They must bear in mind that those who rise up against an
innocent person are only setting themselves up for a fatal
fall”, he added.
An online media portal had reported how Anyim is

The portal also added that the former SGF has been
accused of taking huge sums from the coffers of the Niger
Delta Development Commission NDDC while in office,
