IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Clears The Air On His Role in 2020 #EndSARS Protest

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has denied any involvement in the October 2020 #EndSARS protests or the destruction of properties in Lagos State.

The denial came through a video played during his ongoing trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday. The prosecution, led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria Adegboyega Awomolo, continued its case with a second witness—an agent of the Department of State Services (DSS).

As part of the proceedings, the court viewed a video recording from July 17, 2021, in which DSS operatives interviewed Kanu at the agency’s Abuja headquarters. In the footage, he was asked whether his broadcast on October 20, 2020, incited v+ol£nce and d£struction in Lagos.

Kanu firmly rejected the claim, saying, “I swear in the name of God that created heaven and earth, I have no hand and I know absolutely nothing in whatever form about the r+ot and d£struction that happened in Lagos during #EndSARS.”

He added, “If I have authority over people, I won’t be calling for a referendum. I would have just woken up one day and say let’s create Biafra.”

Kanu also pointed out that Lagos is not within Biafra territory, suggesting events there are unrelated to him.

Justice James Omotosho adjourned the case to May 14, 21, and 22 for further hearings.

Is the decades of insurgency by the entire region of the North against the Nigerian state not enough reason or evidence to put to trial the sponsors and perpetrators who are known Northerners?  The North has succeeded in deceiving Nigerians , particularly the Southerners that the terrorists terrorizing Nigeria are not Nigerians meaning that the federal government of Nigeria has been rehabilitating and recruiting into our security agencies are not Nigerians.
